In an exercise session, the trainer was getting the class to work up a sweat.
Walk!
Faster!
Jog!
Run!
100 skips!
Run!
The commands came quick and fast. And it became harder and harder for everyone to keep up.
Finally it was time to cool down. Everyone was laying on the floor. And the trainer asked everyone to relax.
Easy? So far so good.
And then he asked everyone to still their minds.
Easy? Impossible almost! Would have been easier to run another 10 rounds.
It feels many times like idling and doing nothing is easy. But not only is it detrimental to success, but also quite a tough path in itself!
