The Four Truths of Fitness

With any goal in life, follow these Four Truths:

Consistency - Discipline - Intensity - Challenging

These truths will become apparent for fitness with elaboration:

Consistency

This means to make something routine. Whether it be going to the gym, eating right, learning something new, or practicing a sport, consistency is making the dedication to doing something. Be careful though, don’t let your efforts go stale by going too hard up front or losing motivation by not noticing immediate improvement. Consistency is the understanding that I’m not where I want to be today, but with a continuous effort I WILL be there soon.

Discipline

To be disciplined is to be strong in the face of temptation. To be strong in the face of temptation is to be aware of the temptations that will draw you astray. If your goal revolve around your physique, learn what temptations may appear so you’ll know how to handle them. Cheating on your diet, and skipping gym sessions are the deadliest sins for your efforts. Learn how to talk to yourself when these temptations arise. Be strong, and know through your suffering will come greatness!

Intensity

With all of your efforts in life, do it with your whole heart. Never start a task if you are not completely involved. If you ever feel a lack of motivation, reflect on yourself. Learn why you don’t feel into doing something; you’ll quickly learn a lot about yourself and see that no reason will suffice for a lack of passion. Go at it with your whole heart and you will be greatly rewarded.

Challenging

Don’t take the easy road. To fail out of fear is not the same thing as to fail out of trial; for a trial is an effort, and an effort is rooted out of love. To suffer is an expression of love. For all that you do in life; if your heart is there, and you suffer, be comforted with the knowledge you are on the right path and success will follow.

Once you fully apply these principles to your fitness goals, and learn how you can then apply them to ALL other goals you set for yourself, these four simple words will change your life.

With any goal in life, follow these Four Truths.
