I do this quite often in my journal along with a "random thought of the day." Many people don't come into my journal. Haha, I don't blame em! And certainly don't expect them too. However, I figured some of these random thoughts could drone up some interesting conversation. I think I'll start posting some of them in this thread. Today's was:
Quote of the day
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
Random thought of the day:
Do you ever wonder how others perceive you? I never gave much of a care about whether or not others like me or not. I've done my best personally and I think people respect me for what/who I've become.
But I still wonder how I'm perceived by those who don't know me as well.
Do you ever wonder this? If so, why? And how do you believe you are perceived from the outside on-looker? Do you wish people would tell you how they really feel?
Also, and kind of related, a recent PM led me to post this:
Here on the forums, I think the "professionals" including myself have set up an atmosphere where people may be intimidated to approach us. We speak so much about optimal training that the average members believe we expect EVERYONE to be doing things optimally. The believe that there is a right and wrong. And this isn't good.
I'm going to try and change that, if possible.
I know I've written about this before in here, and speaking for myself, I truly understand that there are different starting points for each individual. Also, I think a good trainer finds the right balance between educating and leading. Ideally you help someone understand. But also, I think it's critical that you find the balance between where their personal starting point is and where optimal is. Keeping both things in mind, you develop a plan of attack that best suits the individual.
Keeping in mind that it's hard to be *wrong* on the subject of fitness, don't be afraid to ask questions.
