As we begin various training and exercise routines sometime we encounter minor aces and pain… for that reason I chose this quote for today.
“But pain… seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain?” —
Lois McMaster Bujold
I’ll never will let my minor aches and pains stop me from archiving my goals.
Now lets get something straight, I’m not injured… an Injury is a reason to not exercise… its also a reason to see the doctor.
The real trick is not to over do it to the point you can’t move. The body needs rest to heal. What you’ll learn quickly is that the pain works it self out once you start moving and exercising.
Minor aches and pains is a good sign…its your body telling you that your doing something its not used to.

Cause and Effect… Which are you!
There are two types of mindsets, cause and effect.
The effect mindset believes that things just happen. They rely on luck, chance, hope, and “destiny”.
The cause mindset believes that a person can cause or prepare for anything they need in life. A cause mindset believes in preparation, determination, goal setting and hard work.
The effect mindset will say I hope I get that new promotion, that new job, a date with that person.
The cause mindset will make their case for that promotion to upper management, prepare for an interview and present themselves with a level head and confidence. They will start a conversation with someone they like to build repport, and if the timing seems right will ask that person out.
Cause is confident, determined, focused, resolute.
Effect is hesitating, wavering, lazy, non committal,
So, which mindset are you.. Do you “Cause” your health and success … or .. are you just going to wait around an see how the world “Effects” you…
My name is Ronald Skelton, and I am Cause. — rant complete

If I can do it, So can you!
So you say you have obesity in your genes, Well, I loved my mother, (god bless her soul) as any good christian boy should, but my mother was a large woman.

You say you have bad knee’s or other issues?
I’ve had both ACL’s replaced (the most recent one in Aug 2007) and 5 other surgeries on them (mostly arthroscopic)
Scars from knee reconstructions
So let’s just get past the excusses…
If you can’t set it in your mind that you can do it and truly believe in yourself… then you’ll fail.
If you don’t believe you can, then your right.
