Quote of the day 11/03/2011

"In truth, people can generally make time for what they choose to do; it is not really the time but the will that is lacking."

Sir John Lubbock


I post this in light of a conversation I had with a member at the gym today. He complained that he didn't have time to train every day, he then complimented me on my physical condition.

I then told him its not neccesary to train every day, that in fact I train myself 3-4 days per week for only 45-60 minutes at a time. I suggested he spend more time focusing on his nutrition than trying to attend the gym every day.

The point is if you prioritise your health you can make the time to put effort into training and controlling what you put into your mouth. Living in a free country such as the United Kingdoms gives you the freedom to choose, cherish it!

Quote of the day 11/01/2011

In reference to my recent time management article I discovered an appropriate quote-

“What comes first, the compass or the clock? Before one can truly manage time (the clock), it is important to know where you are going, what your priorities and goals are, in which direction you are headed (the compass). Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what’s urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.“ - Unknown source

Quote of the day 15/9

I love this quote from Henry Rollins-

"The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it’s impossible to turn back.

The Iron never lies to you.... You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black.

I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."

– Henry Rollins.
