“Fitness is a journey; not a destination.” -Coach Josey.
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 joyfully 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 one’s goals. There will always be something else on which to improve. We can never achieve that kind of satisfaction. So train hard and pay attention to proper nutrition with the desire to be better and stronger each day. But we must remember to live and enjoy our fitness today; in this moment.
