The key to motivation is belief

The key to motivation is belief.

Don’t believe it?

Look in your “past-history” mirror.

Your greatest, most meaningful accomplishments, how critical was your motivation?

How critical was your desire to achieve your goal?

Where there not numerous small, medium, and large obstacles?

What led you to overcome them all?

i rest my case your Honor.

Out the door on a bicycle at 7:00AM…

Whoa is me.

Every degree warmer helps make the ride easier.

 

Back home from the three-hour exercise session, and just before lunch…

 

home blood pressure monitor
Started adding some salt to my diet – i’m probably deficient.

 

Was heading to Goodwill after lunch and passed by Allergy Doctor’s office…

Who knew?

Jim Ryun quote
i subscribe to Brain Clark at Copyblogger. From his weekly newsletter. Generally don’t read his article…but almost always enjoy the quotes he picks.

 

Habits define us.

Genetics too, to a certain degree.

But these seven really help anyone:

  1. Cardio
  2. Strength
  3. Nutrition
  4. Flexibility
  5. Core
  6. Rest
  7. Motivation

No one has to do them all.

And your mileage may vary.

Best mileage is achieved by doing all seven.

Number seven, by the way, is the most critical for long-term success.

You don’t realize how strong you were until you stop

You don’t realize how strong you were until you stop.

A left shoulder injury two months ago, cause unknown, has eliminated several key upper-body exercises, namely pullups and pushups.

In just 60 days, i can feel the atrophy.

Now, imagine if the atrophy was from two years instead of two months.

Or how about two decades.

One of the million reasons we need to find our motivation to stay strong.
