Let us begin the month reflecting on the most famous of Aesop’s fables– that of the Tortoise and the Hare. The tortoise challenges the hare to a race. The hare, sure of its inevitable victory, rushes ahead and then pauses to take a nap. The tortoise on the other hand keeps at it, until it finds itself finishing first. It is not always the one who is faster or less-ill that will win a race, sometimes it will be whoever is willing to put in the hard work required to get to wellness (or the end of the racetrack).
