Meditations on Life

We’ve talked about meditation before and how it helps to improve mental fitness as well as physical fitness. Today is all about a series of meditations on life. Meditations about the way it is, the way you want it to be and the way it can be in the future. I think it’s important to spend a portion of every day in reflection, whether it’s just to relieve the mind of stress or to invigorate it with a challenge.

Here are today’s meditations on life:

Think with compassion. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. taught that we should listen with compassion, we should believe with compassion and we should think with compassion. Think with compassion for others as well as for yourself.

The Buddha teaches harmony in life and that it will gauge your success. If you do not have harmony, look at your thoughts, your words and your actions.

The military teaches us to be all that we can be. Strive to be the absolute best for yourself and for those who care about you.

Christianity teaches us to honor our mother and our father as well as to know ourselves. Understand who you are and be who you are and not what others perceive that you should be or tell you that you need to be.

In a world plagued by trouble, dissenting beliefs in religion, politics and economy, there is little that we can seem to affect in our everyday lives. We do have one power absolute above all else – we have the power of choice. We can choose to be good. We can choose to be bad. As the saying goes: choose wisely.

And our last meditation for today is this thought: Everything you do has a vibration in your life. Every action you take. Every word you utter. Every thought you think. That vibration will either ring true or ring discordantly. Find the course that rings true for you, and feel that good vibration.

Fitness is about more than just hitting the gym, doing the routines and counting the reps. it’s about a state of mind and a state of being. Choosing to be fit and choosing to workout is a lifestyle choice and change. Discover what you can get out of good fitness in all areas of your life.
