We can thank Cervantes for that quote.Do we know what he meant when he said it? Ponder this what is the road? What is the inn? As we delve into those two questions we can uncover his thoughts. First "the road," what is his point of view?
According to my google findings ... where I (must confess I researched Earl Nightingale at the same time) I feel the quote means this.
The road is life and life's journey. The true measure of life I believe is what our goals make of us. We have all got a destination we will all arrive somewhere. The somewhere is "the inn." That pales in comparison to the road. You see the road is everything because it shapes who we become. My choice for the name of this blog states my clear feelings on the road. It says enjoy the road I love to workout means let us all make the most of each activity we care to do. We can dwell on this thought to clarify our thinking. Do what you love and you will love what you do. That is pretty simple is it not?
The road today was fun as I burned 2 calories in the hour less than my determined goal. I also did 20 less crunches than I set out to do. Why was it fun to not hit your goal? Answer: because as hard I tried to reach my goals. The road to reach them were tough and I gave it all I had today to reach them. I wound up getting my heart rate to go to 160 beats per minute for at least 20 to 25 minutes. That is where the road is awesome. When working that hard the sensation is about as intense as it gets. Your mind gets flooded with beautiful positive thoughts and you feel as though you are suspended in air. When you try to do an ungodly amount of crunches your body and your mind have this tremendous battle that is uplifting to your whole being.
Burned 1398 ouch did 580 crunches it is okay, I have been made stronger from the journey.
Cervantes, you are right! The road is better than the Inn.
