Stories

Everyone loves a story.

Tell one … who knows where it might lead.

Perhaps business success?
Perhaps a new partner?
Perhaps a new life?

Sometimes you just have to say it

Ten days ago, I wrote about being an asshole (well, not being one actually).

Today, I’m kinda flipping things on their head with a simply thought:

Sometimes you just have to say “Go fuck yourself!”

Sometimes you have to burn bridges.

Not often. Sometimes.

Don't neglect yourself

It would seem to be straightforward that our own health & fitness is one of our key concerns in our existence (if not the most important then certainly right up there). One might argue that the health of a loved one is more important, however how can you provide, care for, love, enjoy the company of, or be any use to that person if you are ill, dependent, incapacitated or otherwise not in optimal condition?

I have clients who state point blank that their careers are more important than their health. I find this both astounding and frightening. What good is career success if you’re on the way to an early grave?

I have other clients who refuse to eat the way I prescribe even knowing that I am offering a proven method and (almost) certain positive results. Again, I am flabbergasted.

Others want to train but can’t find time. (I don’t really think they want to train at all.)

Neglecting your own health and fitness for any reason is inexcusable. Careers and not more important that your health and fitness, neither are relationships, deadlines, movies, or any other excuse that you can come up with.

In much the same way that you cannot help the poor by attacking the rich; you cannot achieve success in your life without health and fitness (at least not in the long term).

Ideas and thoughts for the day

  • Stop what you are doing and just breathe for a moment
  • If someone pisses you off, wait a moment before you respond
  • Pain is bad, avoid it
  • Treat yourself (if you deserve it)
  • Food is not a reward, it’s fuel
  • Reconnect with someone/something you once loved

They’re just thoughts and ideas. You probably have better ones. Do something with them.

Learn something from someone else

I love a good list (especially when I can learn something from it).

Here’s a list of some great articles (containing lists) that you really should take a look at:
