The 365 Commitment

Resurgence

I was looking for a word today that described exactly how I felt. Well, I found it. The word is resurgence. It is a noun and it means: an increase or revival after a period of little activity, popularity, or occurrence.

So I have not necessarily had a period of “little activity” but I have been very sick and had to gut through my commitments with all manner of loathing. I am definitely no where near where I was at 1 year ago today. A year ago today, I was probably at the peak of my performance improvement as a person. I was running, doing body weight exercises, memorizing things for fun, tracking my nutritional consumption and doing several other very healthy things. I had not been sick for almost 2 years and now wammo, I have been really sick for several days AND I am showing some dings in my non so shiny armor.

So I need a resurgence. I need an INCREASE after a period of inactivity. I need to not only return to the level that I was at, but I need to exceed that level and get to the next plane. I know that it is entirely possible, I can see glimmers of hope here and there. So now in the midst of the Covid-19 outbreak and as the common cold and flu ravage me, I will rise up and hit the day with even more vigor then I have ever before.

Not because I have to, or want to, but because I CAN and I WILL. Here comes the resurgence!

Day 304 – Repeat What Forms You

This article explores Jesus’ teaching on “vain repetitions” in prayer, arguing that repetition itself is not the problem, but rather the intention behind it. It differentiates between repetition as formation, where the practice changes the individual, and repetition as transaction, where one attempts to influence God. The piece emphasizes that true spiritual repetition helps us return to core values and shapes our character, rather than being a means to earn God’s attention.
