Leading

Tomorrow I am co-hosting a “Walk/Roll” event at my office. It’s in conjunction with one of our Medical Centers that does a Wellness Event where staff and patient walk a 2k. It’s about getting out there and moving. As the Network Office we are participating, serving as the leaders we should be. It really got me thinking about being a leader v. follower.




With taking charge of one’s health, it’s all about taking the lead. You’re no longer following blindly hoping not to tumble down the steps. By taking charge of my health it’s like a person with a visual impairment learning to use the guide cane. It puts them on a new journey of endless possibilities. They may not see what’s a head of them, but they have the tools to get there.



That’s the trick about getting healthy; it’s about learning to use the tools to help you get there. Where’s there? It really isn’t a destination, because this journey will never, truly, end. The moment we say, “I’m done,” we lose. We stop moving forward.



I don’t want to stop moving forward, watching others lap me. I want to lead my journey and discover to paths and adventures.
