The 20%

"The Pareto principle (also known as the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes."

 It also means that just about EVERYTHING can be divided into 80/20.

Really.

I'm reading Parks & Recreation Journal (I know, right?!) and the difficulty of funding rural recreation.  Apparently, 80% live in urban environments now...and my heart skips a beat.

Rural entrepreneurship.  It's a 20%.

Last night, I drove both Greenie (poor girl, she's had a rough fall) and Red Ride (who, as always, is just marvelous.). A little boy wanted to ride in golf carts for his birthday, and that's what we did.  It was 46°, technically Ride Prescott is closed for the winter, and all of us had a blast.  

Ride.  All I needed was 45 minutes and I was in love all over again.

My business.

My passion.

My focus.

 

 Saw Rogue One again last night, consumed 1/2 a tub of popcorn, red vines and jr mints.  Complete crap and it was awesomeness.

Patience.

I am not going to rush anything.

I am going to be thoughtful and do things with purpose.

Ride is a quest in and of its own...when you add in fitness and the Bothans...yeah.  Three strands, that need braiding, not tangling.

 

So I figured out who the Bothans are:)

I've been a 20%er at times in my life.  80%er at others.

Not certain %er is a real word but...

The truth in all of it is this:  all I ever wanted was for others to succeed.  To have kindness brought to them.  Whether it be a tool for business or inspiration to exercise.  I just want to spread hope.

Of course, that's what rebellions are built on....

 

Hope.

Last night, I came home again delighted by this Nevil Shute/OnTheBeach/Moira&Dwight/Jyn&Cassian/RebelScum telling of the secret Death Star plans.  I shouldn't be-major spoiler here-all the rebels die.  Hope to overcome the Empire is bought by the lives of hundreds...but in essence...the 20%.

I may not be in the natural 20% who are genetically predisposed to exercise.

I chose to be.

Hope.

The critical factor which compels even the weakest to greatness.

Hope.

The anchor of our soul.

Hope.

What makes the 20% change the world for the 80%.

 

Hope.

Learning to weave these strands of my life together.  Hope for a simple braid.

I suspect I have the colors for a tapestry.
