Now, what the heck does this mean you might ask…
And I’ve got a really strong point so I’ll do my best to present it clearly..
Why do you work?…
Do you work to make living? To make a fortune? To win and be the best? Leave a legacy? Take care of your family? Have the good things in life? Possessions? Experiences? Why do you work?
What makes you get up early in the morning, hop on a train, come to The City and work all day?
And this is not about: “Well if I don’t my boss will go mental, I’ll lose clients, or what else can I do.”
Let’s look beyond that…
Because all human behaviour is driven either by desperation or inspiration…
And most people don’t come work in The City because they’re desperate..
It’s more about being inspired by something and about what got you here…
The Vision Of A Good Life
We all certainly each have our own definition of what a good life means…
And whatever the reason you’re working in The City…
Somehow you being here fits that vision…
Now a successful professional life is not everything…
Most people don’t consider success in their professional life the only thing that counts towards having a good life…
But it is a very important part and it definitely can enable you to have a good personal life as well…
Even if it just provides funding…
So Here’s The Point
Whatever drives you to work in The City and be successful professionally is likely driving success in your personal life as well…
And although not top of mind priority on a daily basis, your shape, fitness and health play a huge role in both…
The paradox is though that we spend so much time working so we have options in our life…
And once the options are presented to us we struggle to completely immerse ourselves in them….
Because our body is no longer 20…
Not long ago I’ve read something that read: “When we’re 20 we’ve got the body we were given by genetics. When we’re 50 we’ve got the body we’ve built for ourselves.”
You taking care of your physical shape and fitness as you go ahead in life is so absolutely crucial….
Make sure you’re on it!
