Think and Get Fit

Around a 100 years ago a famous author quipped "What your mind can conceive - you can achieve.". He had studied numerous successful and wealthy people. His findings were published in that widely read motivational work - "Think and Grow Rich".

If you want better health and a better life filled with more energy and even happiness - you really can achieve what you set your sights on!

Success is in the blood. There are men whom fate can never keep down—they march forward in a jaunty manner, and take by divine right the best of everything that the earth affords. But their success is not attained by means of  some political policy. They do not lie in wait, nor scheme, nor fawn, nor seek to adapt their sails to catch the breeze of popular favor. Still, they are ever alert and alive to any good that may come their way, and when it comes they simply appropriate it, and tarrying not, move steadily on.

Good health! Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every hand-clasp.

Do not fear being misunderstood; and never waste a moment thinking about your failures or enemies. Try to fix firmly in your own mind what you would like to do, and then with proper focus and action you will move straight to the goal. Take action. Massive, focused action will lead you to your greatest desires!

Fear is the rock on which we split, and hate the shoal on which many a barque is stranded. When we become fearful, the judgment is as unreliable as the compass of a ship whose hold is full of iron ore; when we hate, we have unshipped the rudder; and if ever we stop to meditate on what the gossips say, we have allowed a hawser to foul the screw.

Keep your mind on the kind of life you want. Think about the type of body and fitness level you would like  and then, as the days go gliding by, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing the opportunities that are required for the fulfillment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tide the elements that it needs. Picture in your mind the happy, contented, able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and the thought that you hold is hourly transforming you into that particular individual you so admire.

You must seize every opportunity to act upon your desires - embrace and adopt healthy habits. Exercise every day. Work your body hard and you can see results in a matter of weeks.
