Embarking on a Journey of Discovery
In the labyrinth of life, I found myself lost, seeking purpose and meaning. It was then that I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, a quest for well-being and happiness. Little did I know, this journey would lead me to the realm of fitness.
Eudaimonia: Living a Life of Purpose, Excellence, and Virtue
As I wandered through this realm, I was guided by the ancient wisdom of Eudaimonia, the Greek philosophy that posits well-being and happiness come from living a life of purpose, excellence, and virtue. I realized that my pursuit of fitness was not just about physical transformation, but about becoming a better version of myself.
Intrinsic Motivation: The Power of Pleasure
I soon discovered the concept of intrinsic motivation, a powerful force that drives us from within. The pleasure derived from fitness, the sense of accomplishment and self-improvement, became my fuel. This intrinsic motivation propelled me forward, leading to long-term consistency.
Finding Pleasure in the Process
I learned to find pleasure in the process, not just the end result. Each step, each challenge, each victory was a source of joy. I began to cherish the journey, realizing that it was not just about reaching the destination, but about enjoying the ride.
Setting Personal Fitness Goals
I encourage you to set personal fitness goals that align with your values and interests. Find what brings you joy, what ignites your passion, and pursue it relentlessly. Remember, it's not about being the best, but about being the best version of yourself.
