Personal Development
Life and work is just like what “Prime Time” Dion Sanders said:
“If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, then you get PAID good”
It all starts with health and fitness. It can go a long ways and mean so much more in your life than just obtaining a goal weight. There are a lot of other things that can follow it. So to me, physical fitness extends into other areas of my life. Even when I go out and run, I apply that to my career. So how is that? Well, when I am running a certain distance, and I am running hard, and I am just so freakin’ tired and hurting that I don’t think I can finish, I push myself and ride it out. When I do this, I find that the same mentality kind of carries over into my other areas of life. That’s why it is so important to plow right up to the fence and complete that last rep or finish that last 1/4 mile, because it means so much more than just physical fitness. It means getting tough when the tough get going in other areas of your life.
So when you’re looking for a new job, or you are trying to finish a project at work, or you are trying to make your own self employed venture work out, don’t quit even if you think you can’t do it. My motto is to “die trying”. Because that way, the journey never ends, which is what makes life so exciting. The journey is always better than the end.
