It’s A Lifestyle

Maybe you just like to workout. It’s your thing. Perhaps you’re afraid you’re going to die if you don’t OR — worse yet, die when you do!

Now forget about all of that for a moment because it’s time to quit thinking about “fitness” in terms of what you do, how often you do it and what results you hope to get. And by the way, that applies to anything else you do “religiously”.

Seriously, get a life – A lifestyle! It’s the WAY you live. If you’re a servant to the scale or your appetite OR to doing as little as possible it’s your mind that has too much weight. If you’re addicted to the spiritual endorphin rush of wellness, a fit physique or simply how fine you look or want to look then your faith is anemic and gaunt.

Everyday what you do and how you do it isn’t just what you do and how you do it. It is who you are and how you experience it. Make all the resolutions you want. Until you discover then do what God wants for your routine – it ain’t hapnin.

But, when your lifestyle is in sync with God, mmmm that’s a beautiful thing.
