Non-Achievers and Criticism!

Many who find fault with others and criticize their performance have never gotten their hands dirty on the subject matter in which they are so very criticial…  

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”  Theodore Roosevelt

Health and Fitness Is Not a Seasonal Sport!

The pursuit of health and fitness is an on-going lifestyle choice that shouldn’t be approached with an “on-again, off-again” mentality. We make the decision to pursue health and fitness, we then learn as much as we can on the subject and then we continue to implement and practice the best of what we learn. This is not a seasonal sport… it’s an on-going practice of self-improvement through health and fitness.
