The Fight
The Fight
The past few weeks have been quite intriguing. I find myself closely monitoring the clock each day, as if engaged in a captivating struggle. But what kind of struggle, you may wonder? It's a battle to ensure that I remain focused, accomplish my daily goals, and excel in my interactions with the individuals I train and love. As time steadily elapses, I've also encountered the initial challenge of accepting its finite nature. Yet, it's not solely about me; it's about those around me and the support I can provide them. I've always held the belief that my time here is an added bonus, a precursor to what lies ahead. I acknowledge that this daily fight we face is filled with victories as much as defeats.
One of my clients recently reminded me to view time as an opportunity—not only to be fortunate enough to do what we love in the present, but also as a chance to embrace the next endeavor that awaits us. I have an immense passion for what I do, so much so that I sometimes feel I could do it endlessly. On certain days, it feels like I attempt to do just that. That's precisely why this concept of a "fight" resonates with me.
Observing my clients closely, I strive to equip them with the necessary tools to aid them on their journeys. The specific requirements differ from client to client. Sometimes, a glimmer of hope emerges, and it's a shared hope—one that I have the privilege of contributing to. I genuinely believe that hope is the driving force behind our victories. When we achieve success, that hope bestows a touch of glory upon the accomplishments we've attained. Simultaneously, that same hope remains with us, ready to uplift us when we find ourselves in less desirable circumstances. I've come to realize that hope is what keeps us fighting, even when adversity pays an unwelcome visit.
As I write down these words, I realize that they are as much for my benefit as they are for anyone who needs to read them. I hope that each day you recognize that time presents us with an opportunity—a chance to explore ourselves in terms of our physical health, fitness, spirituality, and mental well-being. With each of these aspects, hope intertwines. It is hope that compels us to fight for ourselves, regardless of the scale of our goals or the magnitude of the challenges we face. Rather than perceiving the clock as a foe, let us view time with gratitude. We possess it for that fleeting moment. Embrace time with the enchanting word—hope. Embrace it not only for yourself but for those around you.
