If this weather doesn’t give you the kickstart to get more active, then you need to have a look at yourself.

Sun on your back means you are being actively encouraged to get out and about and show what your body was meant to do.

No excuse now to shiver indoors, and waste yet more time watching rubbish on TV that will only make you more miserable, more inactive. Superior knowledge of a reality programme gets you nowhere near where you really want to be in your life, unless it’s your chosen subject on Mastermind.

If you get off your behind right now, get down the harbour, beach, mountain-anywhere that looks amazing, then i guarantee that 10 minutes later you feel better, you will feel more hopeful, you will wonder why you didn’t do it earlier, and why you waited to get going in the first place.

Most of the time we worry about wind in our faces, how cold and wet it is, how dark it is, so the time is right now to seize the moment and realise we have everything working on our side for a change.

Please don’t contemplate it, don’t discuss it too much, no need to have a meeting about whether you should do it or not, just take action right now and DO IT no questions asked!!!

Friday, 24th March-Perseverence

Struggle helps us develop deep reserves of strength.

Nobody likes pain, but a lot of our growth comes from when we get stuck into what’s painful, sometimes we have to step beyond our past experiences and do the the things we find that are hard and new.

Doing things that we are a fearful of, doesn’t automatically lead to courage, hardship doesn’t always make us better, pain can break us or make us wiser, suffering can destroy us or make us stronger, fear can cripple us or make us more courageous.

It is resilience the makes the difference. Resilience is one of the greatest virtues and something we talk about all the time at the gym, and many of our members have it in spades-this is what they teach me each day.

Pain and hardship often makes us more resilient, often we want to and DO become stronger and wiser. We all want to become better so next time it hits, we are a little more prepared to bounce back quicker.

This is nothing new, all generations face he same questions, and everyone has to answer them at some stage.

How do you control your mind?

How do you control stress in your life?

How do you work through fear and build courage?

How do you deal with incredible pressure in your life?

How do you overcome obstacles when all seems lost?

This is not to romanticise what people go through, this is to tell you that although many go through deep pain, what i have observed is that they become better people because if it. They give me one nugget of wisdom each day that i can share with others.

The way they dealt with a critical life-changing moment in their lives helps me pass it on to others, and help show that often anything is possible as long as you are resilient, you stick at it and you respond to hardship with courage by taking action. You were born with resilience, it’s your opportunity to show it and achieve great things.
