This week served as a good reminded as to why I do what I do. I do what I do because I love it: It really is as simple as that.
On speaking to someone (the thought of whose own exercise regimen makes me wince) I was slightly taken aback when he remarked upon my 'commitment' (in a respectful, slightly concerned manner) in response to my cold water swimming disclosure.
I don't swim because I have to... I'm not 'training' for anything per se. There are no upcoming events. I'm not seeking to improve my time. Or my endurance.
I swim because I love it.
The only commitment I have made is to myself: to do something everyday that makes me smile (whilst shivering).
Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love.
It will not lead you astray. ~ Rumi
