And walking demands such a simple formula for success. I need only put one foot in front of the other to get where I m going. Walking reminds me that, in life, the race goes not to the swift, but to the consistent. The same appears true for the exercise. I ll get where I m going if I will just stay with it.
Process is important.
Each segment has its own pleasures. Those of us who are too goal-oriented need to remember this about life. It s good to be alone. Many people only walk with other people, and I like this too, especially the regular walks I take with my wife. Yet, I also enjoy walks alone.
