So the adventure into fitness is an adventure in muscle and mind control. To be in control of yourself, stay away from the toxins life has to offer, and to take in the goods life has to offer that will make you stronger and happier.
Now I'm not just talking about staying away from tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. There's a little more to full control. Full power over your body doesn't mean you're dependent on getting your morning time caffeine rush so you can have, "energy". Heck, I'll say it now, if you have to drink coffee to wake up in the morning, you're a downright wimp. Same goes for those with a sugar issue, "Oh, I couldn't say no! Those twenty six Oreo's I had for dinner was the only good tasting thing I had to eat!" Crap!!! I don't want to hear it!
Same goes for alcohol, "I got drunk because my friends were doing it too!" Pier pressure, yeah, I'll talk about that too. I'll cover everything that's wrong with society. The issues that follow the young and the issues that follow the old, and if not avoided, will follow you into a dark alleyway to maul you, and ninety nine percent of the time, it'll succeed in beating the crap out of you.
Now the thing about the toxins of life, most of them aren't illegal, and a lot can't be arrested for their seducing ways that entice you to give that burning hay stick a try. Okay, really, other than a bunch of friends who look cool, why would you want to try something that would destroy your body? Ease the pain? Make things better for you?
Every single time, something harmful that somebody gets into to ease pain because of it's numbing affect that feels like a healing effect will cause worse damage.
Say if someone has sever depression because of a chemical imbalance, their life isn't doing so good, they're having suicidal thoughts, and they have no where to go for what they can see ahead of them. Nothing but a dark path they've lost their selves down.
But something different happens, they see some people at the park on the pull up bars doing muscle ups and levers, they're on the ground hopping on their hands and doing flips, they seem to be different than most of the people in the park, they're happier, they're stronger, they seem to be doing something they love that takes their minds away from similar issues that they've learned to deal with.
This person wants to be just like those people, they know hard work is what it takes, but they want to be happy, they want something that heals the pain instead of numbing it. So what is it that will take it away? Something beneficial, something new, something they love to do.
I'm not talking just about exercise as far as finding something that you all love to do. Find something that will motivate you to keep moving. Something that motivates you will give you a place that you have control. The things that motivate us are the things that we have control of because it's something we can work to customize to our desires.
The idea to have control over your muscles will give you mental strength. To have physical strength mental strength is required. Usually, a fitness expert is pretty hard headed, and that's because they're good with their body, and they've made their minds up on how they're going to live their lives.
You should already have done that by now. Decide what kind of person you'll be, we all go through a phase in puberty where we discover who the person that we're going to be really is. Each of us individually change over the years, but with us we keep our morals. Some of us change those, and can either regret it or be more than glad to have done so.
From a religious perspective, God wants us to be happy. To be happy does not mean to be a party animal every single night and sleep during the day. What it means to be happy, is to be happy with the person we are, and to be happy with the decisions we've made and make.
If you're going to want to discover just what you find joy in and how to become happy because you know that what you're doing is the right thing, you need to study yourself, think about it, decide who you are and who you're going be. The decision is to be made early in our lives, but I've seen that decision made later on in life plenty of times.
It doesn't come easy, you have to work to be happy, it's actually more work to be unhappy than it is to be happy. Controlling your impulses is a strength that comes easily, and is something you can very easily bear. In fact, self control will help hold you up.
Lack of control, is much more work. It's a routine, it's a cycle, a habit, something that rotates itself up until the moment of you going over the edge.
An addiction makes you rely on something. Without control, it's substance and material things that cause us to fall as creatures of habit. Loss of control brings us down, it takes control of us, weighs us down, makes us weaker, and we start to lose control of our decisions that we make in the future.
Control brings a power that we could never have without it. To have full body control, we must have both physical and mental strength on our side. With both you will be a powerful person. The decision to be what you want to be is all up to you.
