Be Present Dude
Take heed Plunderers: take aim at a small task, a needle mover today that can lift you for 5-10 years. This Dude needs a reset, might we all, a moment of grace to let go of past chances, errant passes or late challenges from heavy legs. The last week or two was not my best work; I worked, but not my best stuff. We have no influence on the past; it gives us some insight to anticipate the now. We can only wake, stretch, sip a bitter tonic and prepare for today. Longing for a better overlord, a simpler play, more precise pass or something different only clouds the mind for the task at hand.
Be present, otherwise you may miss your life - Buddha.
Be present; plunderers don’t anticipate, don’t dwell, don’t fret for a missed chance. Seize the moment; focus on the easiest option: 3-4 passes, and we are away one more in the box and a calm finish. This Dude is a bit tired, a bit older, but a willing runner happy to work for you lot.
The challenge for today and the rest that follow is to influence today for a better tomorrow. Remove the retrospective bias of if I could go back and change one thing (it, this, or I) would be different. Change small things today and make the future one you want to be a part of, a little better, a little stronger, a little more fun.
Te Wero (the challenge) Be Present
Be there for the next Plunderer, for yourself, to support in attack or defence.
