Article Directory :: Self-Improvement/Motivation Articles
I have a class called Combat Endurance Training. It's a work out that was shown to me by my first Karate instructor who was a major in the Special Forces. It's quite a work out and can get a person into wonderful shape.
As I was taking the memberships I noticed that one of the people who signed up for the class was a 68 year old woman. Well that certainly was a bit out of the age demographics that I had advertised but who am I to deny this gal her chance to work out and improve her physical and mental well being?
What a great attitude. This gal was doing it all. Never once did she complain or say "I Can't." She was a perfect example of how everyone should attack life. I believe that our choices are rather simple. We can sit on the sidelines and be a spectator or we can jump in with both feet and be an active participant. This 68 year old woman has obviously chosen to be the latter in her own personal game of life.
It's encouraging to see a person who wants to get better and continue to grow. Starting a difficult exercise program and being in a class with people who are only half her age can be a bit intimidating. What a great choice she has made. Living a fulfilled, happy, and healthy life is something that almost anyone can do.
Many times people start on a new quest with good intentions. They truly want to change something about their lives that they are not happy with. Along the way some fall to the wayside. It's then that they tell themselves that it's o.k. to quit. I beg to differ. It's not o.k. to quit. Let's not fill ourselves with "it's not for me" "I just wanted to see what it was about" "I really wasn't serious about doing it". These are all easy ways out. The real truth is that you didn't have what it takes to finish the deal. You may tell yourself whatever you want. Bottom line is that you weren't willing to make the commitment. You can say whatever you want but you can not lie to yourself.
So what's the solution? It's simple. Finish what you start and put some spirit and effort into the process. You can do it if you set your mind and spirit to it. The great automaker Henry Ford once said, "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right"
Think you can and be like the 68 year old woman who has made a decision to make her life better?
