The BENCH:What do you want to last forever?

This is perhaps a lesson that everyone eventually has to think about or deal with. The BENCH is a lesson in this as one is young and driving hard at life in that phase the bench represents the power to achieve a level of power to beat the competition, be stronger than be better or bigger than.

The BENCH in this phase of life has a meaning if that is all you think about, to just make you stronger in that moment in time. Use it and get a result short term, and after that maybe you never use the BENCH again? Short term result for a short term desire to be the biggest, the strongest the best in a moment in time.

BUT, what if the BENCH with all that old and new DUCT TAPE is thought about in a different way, "What do you want to last forever"? Sure it is still great to feel strong but the "habit" of showing up each day, working out , being healthy daily is what the BENCH teaches you. This allows you to be more active with your family, allows you to do more for longer with those you love and want as much time with.

When you think about the CORE life issues that make a real difference in your llife, the events, the people, the memories, you know what the BENCH taught. For me the lesson is to be with my family as actively, as involved and as much for as long as I can, so each day visiting the BENCH, is a mission not to be bigger and stronger to beat anyone , rather to be with those that matter most and to create as many memories as I can for as long as I can.

Whatever YOUR BENCH is , stop and think about the why and to what end.
