• With Firm Control

With Firm Control

A sequence of events have surfaced and have prompted me to write this piece on urgency as it pertains to health, fitness, and wellness. Life is so incredibly precious and an immense challenge that we face. Too often, we put off things that we need to do today or very soon. It's a struggle. At times, we sit back and watch things go by as if we are merely spectators only to say to ourselves later on, "Man, what if I did this?" or " I should have done that". In some cases it's necessary to take a look at what has transpired and at what steps still need to be taken.

It's true that our current status as a society is affected in many facets. But, to someone or to a group of people current times are not as bad. To another group of people, this period in life is the hardest they have endured. Both scenarios should tell us that, yes, the current state of the nation; and therefore, of individuals suffers to a degree. They also tell us that things are not as difficult as they seem or as they are perpetuated. It takes a great amount of support and other resourceful qualities to attain firm control over our most difficult situations.

Firm control...oh, how it is applied to everyday life and to everyday health, fitness, and wellness.

Be well,
Derek
