OVERALL RATING
It took awhile to get my workout in with the power being off. Did some free weights and abs but when the power came on it was time for cardio. As I rode my #recumbentbike I did a little self development. Your losses can come to define you if you let them. If you stay where a loss leaves you, then eventually you can get stuck there. But know this: your choices will begin to declare you. You can choose to change, grow, and learn from your losses. That, of course, is not necessarily easy. In a favorite Peanuts comic strip Charlie Brown walks away from Lucy after a baseball game, head down, totally dejected. âAnother ball game lost! Good grief!â Charlie moans. âI get tired of losing. Everything I do, I lose!â âLook at it this way, Charlie Brown,â Lucy replies. âWe learn more from losing than we do from winning.â âThat makes me the smartest person in the world!â replies Charlie. Itâs a good thought, but not everyone learns from his losses. A loss doesnât turn into a lesson unless we work hard to make it so. Losing gives us an opportunity to learn, but many people do not seize it. And when they donât, losing really hurts. Learning is not easy during down times because it requires us to do things that are not natural. It is hard to smile when we are not happy. It is difficult to positively respond when numb with defeat. It takes discipline to do the right thing when everything goes wrong. #fitgrandpaonajourney #fitguyonajourney
