sweaty perspectives

so on saturday, after a really difficult workout, i sat down in a sauna. i started talking to the guy next to me..cuz hellp, if im going to be somehwere for twenty to thirty minutess, and have the opportunity to gain perspective, im not gonna miss it! so we were talking, and something he said struck me:
"when youre working out, even though focus and anger helps you go hard, push past, your face becomes hard, focused, mean. your face look like this (insert frowning, crinkly face). and den people ask me 'are you mean'. i say no. dey say 'but all the time i see you, your face looks mean. your face change, it becomes hard. you canno change your face once it gets like that"
so i started thinking about the times when im so focused on the task ahead of me. my mind is tracked on one thing, and sometimes i ignore everything else. thats when i think focus becomes a bad thing...when we allow our focus to block us from living-enjoying-dancing in life.
dont let your face change to mean :)
