I was on my afternoon walk with Holly (it's one of the most important things we do together) when we noticed a sign on the porch of an antiques store that read: "The best things in life aren't 'things." Anyone who has ever given this some thought knows this. So, the question becomes: what are the most important "things?"
The short answer of course is always the same. Family, health and friends, right? Well, I have a different take on this. Here are mine:
Work that is meaningful Making money and raising kids don't count.
Time Nothing in life can make up for quality time.
Truth Knowing and living in truth makes a life.
In my experience, the folks who have these three as their priority seem to be the most fulfilled. All the other "things" follow. When one doesn't have time, family suffers. Work that is not meaningful and is simply a way to accumulate wealth is void of passion. And finally, living in truth and with awareness is the path to a pure soul. Every lie requires another to cover up the previous.
So, what does this have to do with fitness? Everything.
