It's been just over 100 plus workouts, and I have achieved many desires I've had for my body and my fitness. I gained 1 inch around my thighs and put on 3 lbs. of lean muscle throughout my whole body. I'm doing pull-ups again, as well as squatting and deadlifting more weight than I ever have.
As all of those accomplishments are amazing and leave me feeling proud of myself, the true victory lies in the achievement of my thought life. My well-conditioned body is not the direct result of my exercise but only a secondary result.
The true cause of my success in my physical body exists first in my mind, as always. My body transformed because of my mental purpose, which causes purpose-driven exercise, which then leads to the desired results.
I have often placed too much emphasis on the actions being taken as the cause of the effect… when in absolute truth, my thinking is the cause, and the action is the effect of my thinking.
"Our bodies are always perfect instruments of our thoughts." As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
Accomplishments of our goals begin within and never on the outside.
Here's to a daily mental diet and exercise of positive thinking.
