“Get busy living or get busy dying” -Red, The Shawshank Redemption
Today’s workout is a tribute to the gift of healing and the power of prayer and hard work. 3 years ago, Erin Flynn had emergency neck surgery to fix a bulging disk. It was scary as hell and threatened to take away her livelihood, her social community and her ability to move normally. Thankfully, surgery went well and she recovered, but that time left its mark – a literal and emotional scar.
When something like that happens, your world can shrink because you’re scared of things you’d never known to fear! It presents a new daily challenge: Live in that fear or be thankful for life.
“Get busy living or get busy dying.” It’s a great line. This guy, Red, has just gotten out of prison and he’s scared shitless of having to figure out a new life for himself. He’s built his identity around fear and surviving in prison, and now the prison of fear has followed him outside upon his release. So, he has to choose to overcome that fear and take on new challenges or give up hope and await death. Ironically, as he comes to this point, he’s staying in the room of another inmate who has hung himself in response to the same question.
This workout is a tribute to Erin’s recovery, the hard work she’s put in to get healthy again and the choice she has to make every day to get busy living. Join us as we celebrate her victories for the past 3 years and pay respect to that journey!
