As I was sitting in the dry sauna after my workout today I came up with a new philosophy. I was thinking about all the things I have done in my life and all the things I could have done up to this point if I was in shape.
I began to think about how devastating it would be for my family if I died at a young age and before my Mom. With all these thoughts flying around I thought about death and how scary it seems. Then I got to thinking more and that's where I came up with my philosophy. The only reason I'm scared to die young is because before I decided to change I wasn't living my life to it's full potential. I wasn't doing all the things I really want to do.
I thought, the only reason people are scared to die is because they aren't doing everything they possibly can while they are alive. So there it is the new philosophy. Thinking about it this way gave me motivation to keep going because let's be honest here, if it's our time to go it's our time to go. But I'm going to do everything in my power while I'm here and alive to not have my weight be the reason.
I refuse.
If I get hit by a falling plane engine in my sleep, oh well freak accidents happen. But if I die sitting around not trying and I get diabetes and die from congestive heart failure then ultimately I was the failure.
That will not happen.
That's pretty deep man. There are so many things I still want to do. I couldn't think about that right now. But your right you never know.
