My ‘Why’ In 2023
uI have written about the ‘Why’ a number of times over the years. I believe it is super important. It is literally the fuel of your actions. When a ‘why’ is strong enough, the ‘how’ becomes easy.
We are talking exercise, fitness, health, strength, mobility here and what ever the ‘fitness gig’ means to you. For me it equals respect for the opportunity given, with a body that is simply amazing in what it can do. I feel that it would be a waste to the very core of existence, to not look after this incredible machine we have in our possession.
My dear old dad got me to read the famous Dale Carnegie book when I was younger entitled, ‘How to stop worrying and start living’. It had a pretty significant impact on me. Dad had the attitude of always having a go and keeping a positive attitude. I guess it rubbed off when it came to physical stuff.
For me the ‘why’ of exercise is really about looking after yourself in such a way that the multitude of fun and rewarding things that we can do in life, are all possible. Most of us have been given an opportunity to have an highly functioning body. Whilst I am not suggesting everyone needs to push the performance thing to the limit, I do believe that consistent action aimed at getting better things out of our body is an obligation we have.
The photo above which I have shown before, is me having a surf with my boy Indi. There can be nothing better than being out in nature with family and being active in the beautiful environment we are so privileged to be in.
What’s your why? Look for it, hone in on it and watch the magic happen.
