Who started this business about walking 10,000 steps every day? When I dug into it--guess what I found out? It is purely arbitrary, just a goal. Most of us with sedentary lives--God bless the Couch Potatoes!"--and take about 3K steps a day. So it is a push to find where those extra 7K steps will come from. Runners make them up quickly. Walkers park at the rear of lots, mall walk and need to be very conscientious to make the total. I know full well because I have been in this club. It requires intentional living...which just happens to lie at the base of major world religions. To be awake, is to be alive. To notice, is to become "response--able"--or responsible for your life. Bottom line is to get and move--and without some goal, no matter how arbitrary--it takes intentional living to get there.
There is one important matter. To take the first step of the 10K, you have to know WHY and be MOTIVATED to do it. Jesus was constantly inviting the first step--"what is it that you want me to do for you?" It was that first step that leads to the next and so on--a conscious choice to follow Jesus into the journey of a lifetime--and some would say, for an eternity.
Got to go walk!
