Not your regularly scheduled program…

Most days after work I do some type of workout… And during those workouts I usually watch a number of different news programs that are on. One good thing about this schedule is that often the news stories that I watch for the hour or so are frequently “bad”… Now that is not the good part, the good part is those reports get my adrenaline going. Thus because I’m not happy with the news I put that energy into the workout. And for a brief period of time I feel like a tough guy.

But yesterday during my one hour workout I watched as three of the miners in Chile were rescued. I was honestly smiling during the entire workout.



I loved how each of the three guys that were rescued during that hour approach the President of Chile in the same way. After hugging family and other random rescue workers they each put out their hand to formally and respectfully greet the President. But with each of those three the President threw his arms around them and hugged them for an extended period of time. So good!

While I didn’t get my usual adrenaline rush from negative news reports throughout the workout I got something much more motivating… Watching good people being reunited with friends and loved ones. News like that not only makes you feel good inside, but it also makes you want to be a little bit better!

Much Love,
Eric
