Every time I speed walk my trail Willie Horton Jersey , I think about writing about the "Trail Love" I feel. So here it is.
We first encountered the trail years ago while living on the opposite side of town. We loved to inline skate the newly paved trail way that hugged the Portage Creek for a total of about 3 miles. In the beginning, there were not many visitors and it seemed like the trail was ours alone. For several years, we would drive across town as often as we could to "skate the trail."
When the time came that we considered downsizing and moving, we knew we wanted to find a place close to the trail, so we could use it often. We found a place and fixed it up very near the trail. It's a place where we could put our inline skates on in our living room, head out the door Denny McLain Jersey , down the street and onto the trail. We loved it!
In the earlier days, the trailpark has served us with play equipment for the grand kids, a great place to ride our bikes, skate and walk. We have even kayaked down the Portage Creek within the park! The added bonus of beautiful wild life is priceless. We have seen many deer, turkeys, red fox Lance Parrish Jersey , rabbits, turtles, and heron over the years.
So, when I speed walk the trail, the first thing I notice are the other people. Some are regulars I see often and some not. There seems to be a bit of "trail camaraderie" present with people greeting each other with a "Good Morning" or "Hi" as we each are eager to do our own thing.
It doesn't take long to smell the aromas of the air. Some musty, wet leaved smells are unlike anything else you've ever smelled. Sometimes there are floral smells from the wild flowers and sometimes I can smell the bakery waft from blocks away. It's the deep breathing that encourages the smells to take note in my brain with love; I experience the love at that time. A bit of motivational reward for doing what I am doing. I also look forward to the change of seasons and conditions. This spring when the cottonwood trees had released their seed Sparky Anderson Jersey , I saw a magnificent "cottonwood seed tornado" as it blew and created the vortex right in front of me. The changing and dropping leaves are another joy. It just never ends.
I feel the same motivational reward looking and scanning the area for deer, their fawns or any other wild life I can see. I have been blessed so many times with close encounters with fawn and doe. I can see them so close in the wild. I think they are a little bit used to us trail users, but they will bolt away in a flash! Because I try to walk on a regular basis, I use this motivational reward as an incentive to get out and get my workout done! Instead of languishing in the mood of "I don't feel like it," I think about the incentive of "Trail Love," and I find it easier to stay in the habit of speed walking the trail.
And in the meantime Miguel Cabrera Jersey , I am getting my exercise in, getting my heart rate up, burning off whatever I shouldn't have eaten the day before and hopefully staying healthy.
I've had this revelation happen to me over the years as I have struggled with my perpetual laziness. Even though I know I should get my workout in, there is a lazy Linda sitting on my left shoulder saying, "Let's just sit on the couch and watch TV."
So, the next time you are getting in your workout Christin Stewart Jersey , don't think about the hard work it will be, think instead about what you will like about your workout. Think about the benefits or love you may experience in your workout. If you don't find you have any love in your workout, maybe you should re-evaluate what you're doing and do an exercise that you enjoy or at least can find some enjoyable aspects of. Networking is important. In fact, Networking is pivotal to one's business growth.
By definition, Networking is the reciprocal process of exchanging ideas, opportunities Nick Castellanos Jersey , experiences, information, knowledge & expertise that w ill enhance our professional & personal lives - possibly contributing exponentially in return to the effort investment.
Through the system of Networking, we achieve the potential of knowing the ?right? people (contacts or ?guan xi? in China) and for the ?right? people who will know us.
If we examine our own experiences, we may realise that most times, we prefer to do business with those whom we know Josh Harrison Jersey , whom we trust. We can know and develop trust thru the active action of networking. This is why building a good network will prove invaluable.
Another view of networking is that it allows us to gather new knowledge, new skills, new expertise from people with the intimate & specialized knowledge. As quoted from ?The Secrets of Savy Networking? by Susan Roane: ?The closest thing to knowing something is knowing where to find it. (Powerful people have linkages that are plentiful, diverse and expansive ? and are able to get things done because of those linkages.)?
We all have an innate need to communicate, an innate need to commune. Networking is that process & opportunity that provides for us to know each other better so as to form a close-knit community that co-operates & help each other.
In Business, it helps in closing deals Kirk Gibson Jersey , finding resources or testing strategies.
In Career, it helps in finding the desired jobs fro m the desired companies.
What is Effective Networking ? Now, some may think that networking may be easy - just socialize, chit chat, small talk over coffee, beer Al Kaline Jersey , wine. Such viewpoints are not right especially if one wants to achieve specific objectives ? then how effective the networking would be would depend on a number of key factors. The individual networking skills, how one communicate also plays an essential role.
Every contact that we meet is important. Every time we meet someone ? it happen at the same place & time for both parties. While each encounter may not specifically meet our networking objectives, how we expand & enhance each encounter would be important.
