Getting in shape in Jan is like people showing up to Church once a year during Christmas. Intentions are great but very few people follow through with their goals. Most of the time following through with fitness goals is a struggle because people do not know how to work out properly. It is usually not the money because they have more than likely joined an expensive gym or have bought hundreds of dollars in home equipment. Keeping a job or interviewing well for a job falls into the same category for many. Many people do not know how to interview, how to work out properly, how to keep a job and how to avoid the pit of defining themselves based on what they do or do not have.
My Dad seemed to always be chasing his wants and desires and in the end he fell short because he was defining himself by what he had or did not have. My Dad commited suicide and part of the cause was defining himself based on the wrong things. My Dad’s decision was based on defining himself in the wrong way.
FIRST get healthy, make goals, write the goals down, do your best and if you succeed fantastic but remember that your success does not define you. What defines you is simply your purpose in life. Whatever your purpose is is what defines you as person.
Be a success but please do not define who you are by having or not having success. Define yourself by your purpose and effort in life.
