Part Of Being A Success In Life Is Taking Care of Yourself.

The Road To Success

Part of Being a Success in life requires doing things that you don’t always feel like doing. The Alarm went off this morning at 5:15am like it does every day Monday Thru Friday. I was very warm in bed, my wife next to my side and the last thing I wanted to do was slip out of the covers put on my gym clothes and hit the cardio deck and the weight room.

Over the years I have gotten to know myself pretty well.  Over the previous years, procrastination had kept me from obtaining a lot of my goals, dreams and desires.  There were many days that the alarm went off and I either “snoozed it to death” or never made it to the gym.  I made excuses like, “I’ll just go tommorow and work out extra hard” or “I will make up for it over the weekend”.

You see, I was only cheating myself.  You know why? Because tomorrow is the day you were supposed to do the things you promised yourself your were going to do the day before. In other words tomorrow never comes.

Being that all of my work is done from the comfort of my own home, it’s real easy to slack off sometimes.  But I learned over the years that I was not going to take excuses from myself.  I made a self-pact long ago, never to put off what can be done right now. I have always belonged to a gym for as long as I can remember.

As I have gotten older (37), I make it a point to take care of myself.  Being successful is not just about big houses , fancy cars and a bank account full of cash.  It is more about how you feel on the inside and how you show on the outside.  I make it a point to eat right, take awesome suppliments, work out and get plenty of sleep.

I mean what good is it if you live a long life, are not constrained by time or money, and your body falls apart because of neglect.  No good right?

I guess the point I am trying to get across here is get uncomfortable. Do the things that you know you should be doing and do it with a great attitude. Even if your not into going to the gym, get up and take a walk around the neighborhood.  I heard once that walking resets your body’s cells. It’s like the refresh button on your browser.  It makes everything ok.

Make it a great day,
