We are living in a world of good intentions falling too often by the wayside as we trudge through life. We all know what we’re eating is wrong...but we pile more on our plates. We all know that there’s a dire need for us to get off our couches and take that first step to exercise ... but we just flip to the next channel. At what point do we keep postponing our turning a new fitness leaf—of gearing up and doing what we know is crucial to the quality of our lives?
Weight gain, acid reflux, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, metabolic disorders, Diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, stroke, cancer ... where do we draw the line and say to ourselves, “This is NOT how I want to end up” and “This is not how I want my family to end up”? When are we going to say, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”?
So what have you done? What have you changed about the way you live your life? Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” You say you want to lose weight, you say you want to live healthier.... Have you increased your activity levels? Did you ever go back to the gym after you bought the membership? Have you modified what foods you buy at the supermarket? Did you actually taken the Wii Fit OUT of the box? If you want to change your life, you have to CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
What’s it gonna take for you to turn your aspiration into a daily application? What’s it gonna take to make your plan true progress?
I dare you to turn your excuses into exercise. I dare you to stop being passive and start being powerful. To put an end to your reluctance and raise the bar. To stop feeling sorry for yourself and finally be self-satisfied. Happy, healthy, proud, strong, alive. I dare you to become who you already are.
