Having faith doesn’t require proof from someone else

it may be closed, to vehicular traffic, but what about foot traffic?

 

Having faith in his own path, he does not need to prove someone else’s path is wrong. – Paulo Coelho

Dear Son, in spite of the overwhelming obesity in America, never waver from the path that health is wealth. Invest heavily, and forever, in the health basics.

I had to decide to be courageous enough to overcome my inertia

an example for all things and a warning for none (that's the goal)

I had to decide to be courageous enough to overcome my inertia. Have you had to be courageous? I mean, to decide to get healthy? And after that, to find a million ways to stay healthy?

What motivated you? I’m not using courageous lightly here. In fact, courageous as in life saving, hero-type courage. For me, it came down to deciding to become our son’s example for healthy well being. Didn’t want to end up being a big warning for him. Know what I mean?

If you’re like most people, you’re set in your ways. You talk about change, and you can easily see what others need to change, and in fact, you openly talk about those people behind their back, not because you’re mean, but simply because you are weak.

Courageous people anger others. Courageous people don’t intend that anymore than you do. We are all human, and therefore, we succumb to temptation long before we are willing to fight the good fight.

If you don’t fight for your health, who will?

If you don’t start fighting for your health today, then when?

So, as you watched yesterday’s You Tube video, rather than see some old guy showing off, remember that I couldn’t even get my legs to parallel for one second. Not even one second. Are you paying attention?

There is hope for you, but you must do two things. See you tomorrow.

Everyday Courage Has Few Witnesses

All Proof Destroyed?
All Proof Destroyed?

“Everyday courage has few witnesses. But yours is no less noble because no drum beats for you, and no crowds shout your name.” — Robert Louis Stevenson

Maybe you believe in yourself, or maybe you don’t.

The more days that you go without quitting what you you really want to do, the stronger your belief will become.

There really is no other way to change.

You simply must have resolve. A goal is not enough.

You must want this for the rest of your life.

Remember, your everyday courage will have very few witnesses.

How’s that sound?
