Now is the Time

If you were to ask me about my favorite quote I would spontaneously say "If I am not for myself who will be for me". 

There are few things in this world that only you can do, no matter how hard people tried, no one else can eat for you when you are hungry, drink for you when you are thirsty, or smile for you when your happy. Seems these are the most important things and no wonder you have the sole responsibility. 

Similar is the case when it comes to maintaining good health and staying strong. But this has its repercussions  positive though, But how? 

• When YOU take care of your self, it is one thing less for your family to worry about. 
• When you are healthy and strong you build a better (I mean quality) future for people around you by being a motivation a means of positive energy, a source of support, a stable mind to talk to, a strong shoulder to lean on. 

All this boils down to is spending some time for yourself helps everyone around you in a big way. And if you are not doing it already, NOW IS THE TIME my friend even the next minute is too late as it may not happen. 

And if you here thinking about starting on this quest to meet the stronger you, you are at the right place at the right time. Now, I am going to set some perspectives here. Most of the people I have had the opportunity of talking to, (on this topic of course) seem to pretty much have the same mindset and I am very sorry to say that I find it MESSED UP (for the want of a decent word :)). 

 "I would like you to imagine the following set of words are in BOLD, CAPTILIZED and in the LARGEST FONT SIZE possible"

1. Set NOOOO Goals - THE MOST MOST important thing in this quest is never set yourself any goals because there is no real goal to achieve and you never stop !!! you just keep going. Every time you workout you are doing something good for yourself (body and mind) and it is similar to eating or drinking should or can never ever stop. So please don't fool your self saying I am going to loose so many pounds in so many days or anything.

1.1 Enjoy the Process - This would have been the first thing on my list but just because a few people chose to piss me off, I had to push this to 1.1  (this is so important that I couldn't number it "2"). So what am I talking about when I say enjoy the process. All I am saying here is learn to enjoy the process of getting stronger. 

You could do some crunches, push ups , go for a jog, hit some weights at the fitness center etc, what ever you do just enjoy and love what you are doing. I once wrote on facebook that if you are just thinking about the end result and are not enjoying the process...dont do it..This applies to everything playing a game, watching a movie , just about anything. Getting stronger falls in the same scheme of things. And when you enjoy the process you will want MORE ;)

2. Accept Rather Love the Pain - I will have to say this process of becoming stronger is a painful process. The pain you feel is a sign of you getting stronger. Time for my second favorite quote "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger". This pain from a strenuous workout is something you can brag about and feel good about cos its a sign of your fatigue, laziness and weakness leaving you.
