Some thoughts to consider this week:
Start with the Basics
“Sometimes the best way forward is the most basic path.”
People who find an interest in fitness will almost always be inundated with new ideas and routines that seem to get more complex as time goes on. This can be confusing and overwhelming. If you ever find yourself overwhelmed, get back to the basics. It doesn’t have to be complicated - it just has to work. Some of the most fit people on the planet have the most basic exercise routines.
Containing Chaos
“Before you start blaming your problems on the world around you, make sure your own house is in order.”
Everyone has their own share of problems that could easily be attributed to something outside themselves. Those who find their way past obstacles faced have a lot in common with how they did it. One of those things is that they always make sure their own house is in order first. Eat right, exercise regularly, learn daily, keep your house and workspace clean, etc. By getting your own house in order, the chaos that surrounds you will begin to calm down and allow you to look for opportunities. This is a hard but worthwhile process.
Personal Responsibility
An ancient Greek saying that captures the power of personal responsibility:
"If your doorstep is clean, then your city will be clean.”
