Use it OR Lose it!
We've all heard the saying 'use it or lose it' which is applicable to mental, physical and spiritual well being not too mention it also applies to skills/knowledge one may posses,
Study's have shown that
'Declining muscle mass is part of aging, but that does not mean you are helpless to stop it.'

'How to Keep Muscles Strong as You Age
Here’s why older adults naturally lose muscle mass over time and how regular physical activity and resistance training can help'

Generation Pencil Neck
You do not have to look very far to see how #weak society has become,
Surprise, surprise a study has shown that kids, young people, the #youth of the current generation have turned into #pencilneckgeeks who are #slaves to their electronic devices
(go figure, who would have seen that coming)
“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success.”

2 Minute Truth :Are You a Super Ager?
Are you a Super Ager?
(details below)
“The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others, and the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.”
~Osho
#superager
Research suggests that moving out of your comfort zone is the key to staying mentally and physically young.
Finding role models who are older than we are gets more difficult as we age. But in the last few years, medical science has identified a new group we can aspire to join — the super-agers. The term refers to people in their 70s and 80s who have the mental or physical capability of their decades-younger counterparts.

Win Daily!
“Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see.”
~C.G. Jung
You need 3 daily wins:
It is amazing how many people do not meet this simple criteria.
:A physical win.
Walking, running, lifting, swimming...
:A mental win.
Reading, writing, creating, learning...
:A spiritual win.
Praying, meditating, studying, growing...
Be a wholistic winner!

“The momentum of continuous action fuels motivation, while procrastination kills motivation.”
~Pavlina
The gift that is each day allows for many things but wasting that invaluable commodity is not one of them, this issue can be addressed much like those who waste invaluable time procrastinating,
Procrastinating much like being stubborn is not a strength but a HUGE character weakness that can be rectified with effort,
For the record I've never been a fan of #weakpeople be it a weak mind, body or soul,

You Might Be a NPC
What is a NPC?
What is a NPC? (we're not talking gaming here either folks)
A person who doesn't think for themselves or behaves predictably.
In real life, NPCs may repeat the opinions of others or be very predictable in conversations.
The NPC meme is used to mock individuals perceived as lacking introspection, individual opinions, or critical thinking and reasoning skills.
One who simply regurgitates a set of arguments and non-sequiturs bequeathed to them by someone else.
“We should not, like sheep, follow the herd of creatures in front of us, making our way where others go, not where we ought to go.”
~Seneca
In order to understand the interrelation of truth and falsehood in life, a man must understand falsehood in himself, the constant incessant lies he tells himself.

Thank You....no really Thank You
“Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general.”
~Mark Rippetoe
Building strength is great, but what can we do with it? How can we help others?
I work hard for my strength and good health, and I feel very grateful that it's still around.
But I know others are not as fortunate, and things can change very quickly and I was reminded of how the work we do on ourselves can and should be used to lift up those around us.
Level up your game my friends,
Remember to be fearless brother's & sister's!

READ THAT AGAIN.
“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation: these virtues are formed in man by doing his actions; we are we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”

the Straight Dope
“We are our own devils; we drive ourselves out of our Edens.”
~Wolfgang Goethe
As someone who fought addiction as a teenager and had engaged in destructive behaviours while growing up, I see the correlation between negative lifestyle choices and the impact it has not only on you but those who care about you,
~Buddha Sadu Gains
GAINS4LIFE
“The effects of unresolved trauma can be devastating. It can affect our habits and outlook on life, leading to addictions and poor decision-making. It can take a toll on our family life and interpersonal relationships. It can trigger real physical pain, symptoms, and disease. And it can lead to a range of self-destructive behaviors.”
~Peter A. Levine
“The point is… people who are unhappy with their station in life and don’t change it end up developing all sorts of self-destructive habits. I’m telling you this as a friend.”
~Douglas Paszkiewicz
“As you go down the spiral of self-afflicting negative behavior, take note of the actions you take, because you will have to undo these actions whenever you decide to win yourself back from the illusion.”
~Dr. Jacinta Mpalyenkana, PhD, MBA
“If you genuinely care about someone, you won’t let them ruin themselves. It’s as simple as that.
Don’t use your ‘supportive friend’ excuse to justify your ignorance.
If someone in your life is living a self-destructive lifestyle, don’t encourage them. Don’t stand on the sidelines and watch. Do something.
Tell them they’re worth more than that. That they’re bigger than what they’re facing. Tell them there are better ways to heal. Better ways to grow.
Tell them they can be friends with better people.Tell them there’s no escape from reality but it only gets better if you face it. Tell them they’re killing themselves slowly by intaking drugs.
Tell them you love them and don’t want them to get hurt. Tell them that you care.
