Work hard to get results

It was a gusty strong wind. By strong I mean about 100 km an hour. Just below cyclone level. The area was blacked out from powerline damage and a few small trees had been uprooted and strewn across the path. An emergency crew was repairing a house roof just metres from where I passed.

The pouring rain was coming from all directions. Up, down and sideways. It was coming so fast that when it hit my face it felt like needles being jabbed in.

The ocean was just metres away. The sea churning and foaming and spitting out 3-4 metre waves. A great wall of white water.

This was all 1/2 hour ago on the beachfront at a place called Currumbin Beach. I was going for a run at the time.

The raging storm

Tonight I went for my swim. But the pool was closed due to the raging storm.

So then I decided to go for a run down at Currumbin Beach. I could hardly stand in the huge winds. The rain positively hurt as it hit my face and legs. But it was a great ruin. A run against the elements. Amazing to watch this huge storm right on the beach.

I run to keep fit. If I regularly do exercise I keep fit. And it's great relaxation as well. And my run tonight made me think of results.

Getting results

If you do the work you'll get results. Sure, I could have had the night off and stayed home warm and snug. But not only is it interesting to test your own limits and experience a bit of adversity, but I was thinking that I need to do the work to get the results.

In business it's the same. If you don't do the work you won't get the result. You need to be proactive to get results. If nothing happens then nothing happens.

Have a good night. And if you are getting battered by this storm I hope you are safe and well.

Cheers
