Have you ever noticed how often in Biblical account that Jesus got interrupted? He seemed to welcome these seeming distractions. Being open to interruptions was key to meeting these new friends and having an even more enriching experience on the Incline. If I had been only goal-focused, I would have missed out on one of the best aspects of doing the Incline regularly. One of the unexpected aspects of doing this challenge was meeting regulars on the Incline, stopping, talking or comparing notes and getting to know them. If I had not permitted myself to be “interruptible,” I would have never met all the great friends on the Incline. I found it to be important to not be so focused on my goals that I would not allow myself to be interrupted.
I’ve found that the benefits of spontaneity didn’t end there – in fact, it extended to people that I met on the Incline.
I would not have even been there if I had not been flexible and open to spontaneity. I felt strong and my energy stayed at a high level the entire time. So, I said to myself, “I’m going to burn off this energy on the Incline.” And, off I went. It was a hot August day I got off work a little early and was feeling antsy. I hadn’t planned to go that day because my hiking buddy and I had already done our one Incline previously that week. I had my fastest time on the Incline on a day that I wasn’t even supposed to be there.
