The picture above is from hiking Mount Washington in New Hampshire April 2022.
It could’ve been warm and sunny at the top of the mountain, or knarly and windy at 6,288 feet. It was pretty perfect. Cold, windy but not life threatening. It’s always a toss up.
My point, and what I’ve been reflecting on lately is there are no ideal conditions. Whatever I am meant to do, I need to do it now. Conditions are always going to be unfavorable.
The term favorable conditions is interesting because I work in the outdoor/travel industry. If you work in the outdoor industry “favorable conditions” is an indicator you are watching the weather.
As an endurance athlete I watch the weather.
As a marketer in the outdoor industry I watch the weather.
But now more than ever it’s about asking myself what am I meant to do and figuring out how to make it happen. It needs to happen. I need to make it through unfavorable conditions to be where I want to be.
The things I can control include: doing the plan, run, bike, hike, learn new skills, walk the dog more, show up, and most importantly do what I say I’m going to do.
A plan for this fall season is I’m going to let go of all the things I can’t control; and focus on the things I can control. By doing this I might just do all the things I want to do.
