One thing

Have you ever seen the movie "City Slickers?" I'm sure you have, most people have. It's a good movie. One of those rare ones that combines humor and drama and does it well.

Jack Pallance's character, Curly, had a line in that movie. He said the only thing that matters in life is one thing, and you have to figure out what that is on your own. Emerson has a great quote along those lines as well, "Do the thing and you will have the power."

You see, people like me can motivate you, maybe even inspire you (yes motivate and inspire are different.) But only you can figure out why you want to do something.

We spend our lives fulfilling our needs. We need food, water, shelter. We want to be happy and to reach our dreams. And for a lot of us that includes being in good physical shape. But we as humans need a reason to do it. We are goal striving organisms.

Finding out what that thing is, what will drive you onto those goals, is probably the most important thing you will ever do.

Think today about what you want. Think today about why you want it. Then plan today how you will get it. You are only limited by yourself.

Train smart,

RL
