So what is next?

Ever look at yourself in the mirror and wonder who it is staring back?  Wondering what the world thinks of the person looking back at you?

I’m not referring to physical vanity but instead how you are seen as a person.  Recently I have been reflecting asking the ultimate question,……..and the answer isn’t 42 (only the geeks will get that)

Yes life is good, hectic and no two days are the same.  Between, family, work (which is mad at the mo!), training, my love of OCR, Ostomy awareness, blog writing and overall desire to make the most of life I have had a number of unique experiences over the last few years. 

 

But I find myself asking is that enough?

I think it could be that life is too busy!  I have too many things on the go and as such lose enjoyment in many of them.  As I type this blog I find my mind wandering to other things, work, my desire to train.

Perhaps I have also become a victim of my own success? Eventually always asking the question ‘what next’ and answering what is next makes asking the next ‘what next’ question difficult to answer!

So What is next?

To be honest I don’t know?  Perhaps I have reached a point where the ‘what next’ also has a timescale associated to it?  I have reached a level of fitness for example that means the ‘gains’ are not always so obvious.  The better you become at things the harder it is to improve.

Perhaps it is an opportunity for me to take a step back, slow the world down a bit and concentrate on what is important?  

The one thing I do know is I’m not stopping here!  I may just bumble along for a bit but I will definitely continue to enjoy life, to train hard and play harder. 

What the last few years have definitely taught me is you never know what is around the corner….I think I just need to give myself a swift kick in the ass, get my priorities right and move forward one day at a time.
