With a certain holiday only a few days away, I thought it might be appropriate to discuss the most powerful motivating force in the universe. Of course, I'm talking about Love. If someone asked you to make a list of what you love, how long would it be until you put yourself on that list? Many of us take ourselves, especially our health, for granted. If someone you loved was having health struggles, you would want only what is best for them. You would encourage them to practice healthy habits. You would want them to only eat nourishing foods and keep the things away from them that you know would make them sick. Treat yourself with the same loving care.
To quote the famous author, Og Mandino: “And most of all I will love myself. For when I do I will zealously inspect all things which enter my body, my mind, my soul, and my heart."
Charles Poliquin is a world-famous strength and performance coach. His article on the "myth of discipline" is one of my favorites.
