bigger inside

"What is your fitness goal for 2014?"
The YW staff posted this question on a big blackboard in the workout area. 

Someone had replied, "Never give up". So last week I added "Never Surrender". 
A joke. "Never give up, never surrender" is a tagline from Galaxy Quest, which pokes fun at such muscle-bound pos-think.

This week I saw that people had added other sci-fi tags:
There is no try, only do  (Yoda)

So say we all (Battlestar Galactica)
and a chalk drawing of the TARDIS. You know, Doctor Who's ship, a blue police call box that is bigger on the inside than the outside.

So I wrote next to the TARDIS, "be bigger inside." 

This morning I sketched some of the animals on my desk, showing [quote from Marz, who wants me to make clear that she is joking] 
their commitment to their goals and their accountability to their responsibility of achieving their dreams forever.

There's something in me that hates the idea of setting goals, as if being human was American football. But as goals go, I could get behind this one.
