Success Tips For Everyone

Today I went to the gym and started again my usual crunch sessions to get rid of the flabby waistline engulfing my belt recently. I hate it since and I hate it now. I can't stand to see it as I tucked in my slim fit long sleeves for work. I think I am one of the few people who wants to maintain a stiff abs for as long as gravity will allow. And I am proud to be one...

You see its been a while when I went to gym. I calculated probably a year and a few months. Now I am back again, at the "break in" stage when every part of my body that have been stretched, pumped and curled are aching. I hate this feeling. It usually last 4 days when I felt pains as if I had a flu.

But yeah I have to get back. At least I was able to start again last week. I have been passing by that gym for so long that I finally broke the monotonous look and sigh as I I only hoped to start. Now I started... (sigh again)

The reason? I was listening to Steven Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People audio book in mp3 about 2 weeks ago and one of the things he mentioned about successful people is the power to control one self. Again, I heard Discipline 101 and struck me hard to think that I hate something (my flabby abs) and I am not doing something about it. I am letting it eat my belt and push out my underwear!

Mr. Covey further pointed out that the reason successful people are successful is because they know how to take action when they have to - even in little things like going to the gym and taking care of one's health. Its often viewed as chore by most people but to the few successful ones, its the secret to their conquest of life's challenges.

Now I am going to the gym not only for health but also for discipline. I am starting a new look at life and not forget what matters most to me. To be ready for success whenever it may came.

How about you? Have you been in the taking care of your health lately?
