‘I’ as in you. You were made to overcome.

 

One of the biggest victories in overcoming a sedentary lifestyle is the victory over making excuses. Then, and only then, there will be no looking back.

Big victories take guts.

We are made to thrive.

We see it all the time on Facebook. Someone has signed up for yet another 60-day fitness challenge.

And it’s generally people who ride peaks and valleys with their health.

Get there and stay there.

So yeah, 60 years ought to cover it for most of us, assuming we begin in our 20’s or 30’s.

No?

It’s getting easier and easier to believe that any excuse is invalid.

We all get 24 hours.

We all have challenges.

Often these choices are painful.

No one is immune.

Make continuously better choices and make zero excuses.
