Today
is the 36th day of this 2020 new year. Already, undoubtedly, some middle-age men
might be showing signs of weakness and pondering thoughts of abandoning their New
Year 2020 fitness, health and wellness goals.
It’s
the nature of a middle-age man beast when the going gets tough; abandon the mission
once the honeymoon ends and look for a new one that’ll tantalize and invigorate
you. I have, in the past, succumbed to
this temptation. Trust me, it’s a
recipe for unsuccess.
Early
last year, I shared what’s needed in these moments, calling them the pillars of
strength, desire, discipline, patience and perseverance. If you
missed this pearl of wisdom reflection, consider reading what I wrote here:
Unfortunately,
there’s no secret beyond these attributes, yet in moments of weakness, we might
be tempted to looking elsewhere for something that might be easier; surfing the
internet, talking to others, looking high and low for that needle in the
haystack solution that’ll give us some relief from the daily grind drudgery, we
now call it, we began with zeal slightly over one month ago.
Our
imaginary visions are still possible of being a studly middle-age
man by Summer 2020, prancing around the beach shirtless and wearing a pair of
colorful speedos, sporting a killer middle-age man tan with a full head of silver
streaked locks blowing in the wind thanks to a pleasant and warm summer breeze.
If
only the effort getting us there was as easy and pleasant like the results.
Summer
2020 arrives in 136 days. This vision is
still achievable but only with daily and persistent hard work. Abandonment isn’t a solution that’ll get us
there, provided that which we started is a well thought-out and sensible action
plan. There are no quick fixes, only
hard work fueled with incessant desire, discipline, patience and perseverance.
Don’t
abandon your fitness, health and wellness ship.
Stay on course in the choppy waters of the sea towards your destination.
Double
down your efforts and avoid all fitness and nutrition bullshit.
Pax
Domini sit semper vobiscum
