Push it
Push it – Funny how a phrase like “push it” can easily be negative or positive. The other day I saw a video about not topping off my gas tank (in my mind a good thing but for the car a bad thing) and I started to think about how ‘pushing it’ needs some consideration. Someone tells you during a workout to “push it” usually for more benefit to your health. If someone is angry with you and adds ‘don’t’ in front of ‘push it’ usually is an indicator it might not be a healthy thing to do. Some examples where I pushed it, and it was more negative than positive. One more turn of a screw and then it strips. Push tightening some plumbing and then it leaks. Push it when it comes to driving and something wears out prematurely (like my clutch – twice). Please also don’t get me started walking in or out of a building where PUSH IT or PULL IT isn’t labeled (50/50 chance you won’t be embarrassed). Moral to the story – when it comes to ‘pushing it’ ignore the lyrics from the Salt-N-Pepa song, “push it real good” – always proceed with caution.
