There are a lot of great things about having Coach Josey around: fun, affection, silliness, etc. But possibly her greatest teaching gift is her ability to show us how to truly live in the moment. Life cannot be lived in the past or the present. There is no place or time at which to eventually arrive. There is only this moment. And so it is with fitness. We can (and should) train with the intent of being better each day. But we can’t “arrive” at our goals sometime in the future; we can only live our fitness in the present. Not understanding this reality will only lead to frustration at never attaining your goals. There will always be something else on which to improve. You will never achieve satisfaction. So train your ass off and pay attention to your nutrition with the desire to be better and stronger each day. But remember to live and enjoy your fitness today; in this moment.
