I’m currently reading the book, Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins. It’s packed with stories of David Goggins simply deciding that he wasn’t going to let external factors prevent him from carrying out his plan, intentions, and growth as an individual. The book contains some explicit storytelling of simply unbelievable feats of physical strength and fortitude, but there are also highlights of how and why these things were possible, through an undeniable mindset and realization that each of us is so much more capable than we think. So, as you plan your next steps to grow your fitness, are you letting external factors and other obligations dictate what you can’t do and why you can’t find time for exercise? Or are you committed to finding time to better yourself physically given the hand you’ve been dealt?
