There is a country, a yellow country where the color of wheat is poured with the color of the sky. There is a green country, where the hills and mountains resemble like waves of the green sea. The air doesn’t smell like a salt sea, it smells like tomatoes and peppers, and forest fruits. A country in which the Mediterranean melancholy is felt, where even oysters and oranges are able to grow. For celebrations and regular lunches, rich dishes are prepared with a variety of fresh fruits and specialties with a scent of the Middle East and the West with a hub in these areas. There is a palette of dialects in millions of shades. We have different words with the same meaning. Different people live in this country, both old and young. You cannot tackle them by physical characteristics, some are black, some are blond, some are tall or short, others are polly and tinny. Some breaks bread, others eat baklava, and some do not believe in anything. Some cheer for one club, others for other. In one neighborhood they draw graffiti in one, in another neighborhood in other colors. Children play basketball or a serving in front of the building, and the old people are angry at why the ball is scattering cards and chess figures. There are also those who do not wait for cheap electricity for warm water or a washing machine, while others are waiting to knock the clock on 14:00 or 22:00. Among all curtains of difference there is one place where all disruptions are exceeded. It does not matter to anyone what kind of sneakers you are wearing, nor with what bike did you get there. There are no mirrors that put you down and deconcentrated. It’s a place where you can only see how many cubes your belly made from fun and laughter. An outdoor venue containing the idea of anyone’s belonging, where there is the fluidity of air that is needed for a healthy body and positive vibrations for a healthy spirit. Why were outdoor theater built in antiquity? – For the same reason, because they belonged to the masses of people, to be open and accessible to everyone! We leave the enclosed spaces and closed minds and go for ventilated thoughts and sweaty bodies. A place where there are only imagined walls and doors where you are sticking to stereotypes and negative thoughts, and inside you get rid of the stresses your day has prepared. There is a natural rule of one, unfortunately, a shabby floss, which again gets the meaning “Be the change that you want to see.” Exactly on those Coca-Cola active zones with fitness tricks, made 5 pushups more than yesterday, drive bike 5 minutes more than yesterday, endure in plank 5 seconds more than yesterday, be a better version of yourself – not from others! Be a better change for yourself, so we will all become a better community together. Why Coca-Cola active zones are an open space with a clear message of friendship without prejudice, no stereotypes, where a healthy and positive spirit is practiced, much more than a tight body. Inclusion of different ages, religions, ethnic communities, political views. The fitness room for exercise that brings together is the face of the idea of a future for a better society. These places are free from stresses, stereotypes, excess pounds, and for the enrichment with new friendships, healthier body and mind, for now there are in Skopje, Prilep, Strumica, Ohrid, Stip, Tetovo, Gostivar, Kumanovo and Radovish, and in sight are still new “factories” for friendship and positive energy.
In a country which is the center of gravity between the east and the west, in which diversity is the main short-sighted trait, it is more than necessary to have an open – air center that will be available for all classes with a unifying idea. So do not wait for Monday or tomorrow to come to start practicing, you will not lose anything except perhaps the kilos and nerves. The location of the sidings is always in a central and illuminated area, where you can keep the bicycle with which you will come in under the eye. No more excuses, just a desire for friendship.
Till the next reading, fit and moody!
