“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” -Heraclitus
Where do you draw inspiration from? What is it that get's you going in the morning and makes your day worth living?
Yes, this is a fitness blog, but it also serves to inspire you to be better than you are at this very moment. Sometimes it's not the dietary or exercise suggestions that we need, it's the motivation around them that can be the game-changer for us. We should live with a purpose, and for that purpose, we should train.
Regarding my fitness, I go through phases of inspiration. It truly began while I was in high school and was planning on enlisting in the Marine Corps. The Corps served as my inspiration and thus drove me to be better than I was at the time. While in, my inspiration was my fellow Marines, as we do not leave anyone behind. We drive on for our friends and failure isn't an option.
After the Corps, finding my place in the world is what inspired me. I wasn't sure of how to live my life at that point without a sense of purpose. I was called to inspire through physical activity.
This leads me to today. My inspiration comes from my family, friends, and those who I help on a daily basis in my stroke & Parkinson's classes. They all give me a reason to do what I do and for them, I am grateful for the opportunity to give them my life.
Dig deep and find what inspires you. It does not have to be a thing or a person, it can be an ideal, but find it and aim to conquer it.
