“But for those of us that love to do stuff, love what we do, are “People of Action”, understand that life is fleeting and should not be wasted being a busybody—you are who I admire. You are what makes the world better. You are who gives others’ inspiration. So play your music, feed your garden, rebuild your engine or do whatever action gets your eyes wide and your heart moving. You are what makes the world better and keeps the earth spinning in the right direction. You are what is right.”
—Jim Wendler
One of the first true strength training programs I ever followed was written by Jim Wendler. I have read his books countless times, not only for a refresher on the technical aspects of his programming but to revel in the brevity of his wisdom. He’s not one to mince words, and the words he has to share always hit me in a profound manner.
The only way to ‘win’ in this game of life is to be the most authentic version of yourself, and further inspire others to follow their dreams—not necessarily in your footsteps.
We’re a full month into the new year… are you moving towards your most authentic self? Are you taking small actionable steps every day toward building a life that will be an inspiration to those around you simply because it is your life?
If you’re not, you should be. And if you are, don’t give up; always forward.
