Are we self destructing?

    If news headlines, reports and statistics are true, then one of the greatest challenges that this country and world faces is not from without, but from within. Day after day, we are self destructing - destroying our own bodies and minds by ignoring the fact that we are first and foremost physical beings. Sedentary activities and diversions have robbed us of our robust physical and mental attributes that kept us on the top of the food chain and compromised our ability to respond to the challenges that life presents. In a seemingly never ending downward spiral, we continue to gravitate to the easy and fuel our bodies with the foul.
Today would be a great day to take back control of our lives and realize that within us, the fire of change still burns and that we can take back control of our lives. Rosalyn Carter once said, “”If you doubt you can accomplish something, then you can’t accomplish it. You have to have confidence in your ability, and then be tough enough to follow through.” Being tough and being strong and taking charge of our bodies and our minds can be as simple as erasing doubt which in turn will build confidence and put us all back on a path to success.
This week, I’ve added two new features to the site. One is a compilation of health and fitness news headlines that I will update constantly and that you can use for informational purposes and the other is a listing of fitness success stories. We all need motivation and support and seeing and hearing the success stories of other people, I believe, is a great way to stoke the fire of change and get back our physical and mental superiority.
