Today’s Thought: Life is Better When We Work Together

Spread the love

I went to the gym this morning. Today’s my day wear out the elliptical machine (LOL). The aerobic machines are on the second floor. The row of ellipticals overlooks the free weight room. There was one guy swinging a weight in an arc as if he were swinging a golf club. The way he was swinging the weight blocked another guy from using a weight lifting device. The golfing guy continued oblivious to the other guy. The other guy stood there waiting for the golfer to stop. When the golfer stopped, he paused, then began another set. I thought, oh, oh, I wonder how this is going to work out. The golfer noticed the other guy and stopped. He started talking to him. I heard them laugh and knew they worked out the spacing issue. The golfer modified the area in which he was swinging. The other guy used the weight lifting device. It goes to show that we can usually work things out if we stop thinking solely about ourselves and start talking with each other. When we work together, life is so much better.
