The Pruning Process
In the garden of my fitness journey, I once tended to a tangled forest of exercises, each one vying for my attention and energy. But as I've grown, I've come to realize that true strength lies not in the density of one's workout, but in the deliberate pruning of unnecessary weight, allowing the key areas to flourish.
"By removing the nonessential, we can focus on the essential." - Marcus Aurelius
Embracing Change
Change is the only constant in our fitness journey, and I've learned to embrace it like a Stoic, with the philosophy of "amor fati" (love of fate) guiding me. I've come to understand that each new challenge, each new exercise I let go of, is a stepping stone towards a stronger, more resilient me.
The Power of Amor Fati
Accepting change is not about passivity, but about finding the wisdom in each moment. It's about understanding that every setback, every change, is an opportunity to grow stronger, to learn, and to adapt. And in doing so, we find our true strength.
A Reflection
What if the true measure of strength lies not in the number of reps we can complete, but in the depth of our resilience and the wisdom with which we navigate our journey? Let us embrace change, prune our routines, and love our fate, for it is in these actions that we find our strength.
