A Mental Workout

Let's take time to train our minds. The part of training that is the most neglected but also the most indispensable. The workout for the mind comes from a hard workout yes, but also a hard life. Despite what corner of the earth you dwell, life is difficult and trying especially when you dont want to....try that is. Key word there is try, to often as people and runners we "try" to do things. Usually when people "try" they make a profound discovery of the word "can't". Can't is most often followed by "excuses" which never explain how you failed at "trying" in the first place.

Lets train our minds. Setbacks and disappointments are just that....SITback and use this time to take a mental jog, just as one would do reflecting on a countryside or when confined to a cell in prison. DIScern what went wrong and make Appointments with yourself to make changes. I hope you got that cause we are working out here. Every day life provides the workouts needed to mentally ascend to the aptheosis of one's dreams. Here's an example, a young man sits on a train with Olympic dreams, as he is on his way to another unpredictable day on Wall st.....not your average connundrum.....but with each tick of the train tracks that brings him closer to the "street" he becomes more mentally fit.

Lets train our minds. No workout will ever prepare you mentally enough to get over yourself. It's not the proverbial bump in the road, hurdles(pun intended) or valleys that stops you, but you stop you. The ability to remained focus on a goal and your ultimate destintation equips you with the mental acuity needed to see over anything that may stop you. You can never be consumed by negativity because you've mentally trained yourself to bend but never break. There are plenty of good examples of this i can name but no example better than yourself. So the next time life has you feeling like its 200 meters to go and you went out to fast...be comfortable being uncomfortable knowing your mind has been trained for this because your body quit on you a long time ago.

Your mental warmup is complete.
