“Don’t wish for it, work for it”
Today, as I was going about training at my regular fitness joint, the words 'Don't wish for it, work for it' jumped out at me. They were printed in bold pink on a fellow gymgoer's bag. While this apparently is a much used quote in the fitness industry, as I later found out on Google, it was new to me. I think it is a great little quote, and it applies equally well to everything worth wishing for in life.
Don't we all at some point wish we were happier, healthier, more successful, in a better relationship, and the list goes on... While there is a lot of merit in wishing for things and imagining before our inner eye what that might look like, at some point we need to get down to business and start doing. Because it is the doing that gets us there. We hold more power to make our wishes real than anyone else does. Sometimes all we need is a gentle or maybe not so gentle nudge in the right direction. And guess who can give you that nudge, a good coach can:) And that goes for work-life coaching and for fitness training, alike. Loop closed.
