Note

Do we need villains in our lives? I often find myself wondering why I must coexist with people I have no respect for at the work place. For lack of respect, how about outright spite?

Because I cannot choose to remove myself from these individuals, I ask myself why they are in my life. Sometimes I think they are literally a Divine challenge. But more often, I feel they are in my life to allow me a venue to channel aggression into focus. Sometimes I feel like I need the villain to keep myself on target, to keep myself focused, honed in, concentrated.

Ever felt that way? I've been feeling that way more than usual as of late. Let's see if I can turn that into some good training sessions. This morning's run and tonight's swim workout were good starts.
