Most days
have a sunrise and a sunset, but play no significant role in our lives. There are those few days however, that have
such a profound impact on us that we are not likely to ever forget any moment
of that day. These days can be
drastically different for each and every one of us, whether it is a wedding
day, the birth of a child, or stepping on stage for a fitness competition. What we need to make sure of, is that we
cherish each and every one of these moments.
What causes
me to take the time to reflect on these moments, is when I hear so many people
talk about these moments as though they happened due to “destiny”. Personally, I believe that we create each and
every opportunity in life that we are presented with. This got me to thinking about the day I first
met my incredible wife. Now let me say
that I am truly a shy person at heart.
When I first saw her and she smiled at me, I realized if I ever wanted
to talk to her, I would have to bottle up my shyness and step up to approach
her. If I had waited for destiny to take
over, chances are she would have just kept walking right past me and I would
not be where I am today.
The same
philosophy holds true for all aspects of health and fitness. You are not likely to maintain a healthy and
fit lifestyle, if you are not committed to eat right and get moving. Every day I hear people tell me that they are
just naturally “fit”. Trust me, this has
nothing to do with destiny and doesn’t necessarily mean that these people
actually are healthy. It is common for
someone to feel that just because they are at a certain weight, this means they
are healthy. We need to ensure we eat a
balanced diet and stay active, so that we can make sure our bodies are
functioning at their optimum levels and able to fight off disease and other
health conditions.
To this
point, we need to focus less on destiny and think of what we really want in our
lives. Be open to the opportunities we
create and take action to achieve these goals.
