Hey @elonmusk make sure you don’t miss the Palestinian side. They will not need to show you a tour of Gaza. Destruction is everywhere.

Why don’t you train?
I’ve got no time.
2 years later
Where have you been for the past 3 months?
Had to get a surgery, and stayed at home recovering.
1 year later
Do you train?
You bet! 💪🏻

Sometimes we need a kick to get ourselves in order.

The reality is painful but instructive and an ally on the long run. Bite the bullet.

Monkey see monkey do. Or as we all call it - parenting.

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

Being consistent is a skill like anything else. Showing up everyday forever is not a realistic expectation. Life happens. So how about scoring your progress + aim to improve. Set a goal - train 16 times per month - at month end score how well you did and next month improve.

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

Live and let live.
But can we agree that stupidity must be hunted down and eradicated?

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

Love to progress.
Goals are great. We only reach them if we cultivate habits.

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

The term fitness is relative. What it means to one person means squat to someone else.

Don’t judge!

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

Work trumps luck every time.
Plan it, prioritize it, do it.

Syltart compounding now.

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

A lot of wildfires around the world.
Seems strength to ensure must come in many forms. Physical, mental, spiritual, social bounds will be tested and people’s resilience also.

But never fear, somewhere out there an idiot is busy showing children how to twerk.

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

Realize that when you say “Yes” to something you implicitly say “No” to something else.

EG : when you say no to a training session, you just said yes to a detraining session or a recovery day.

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

They say to train is a choice.

Isn’t everything?

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

Did your day start as you planned?

Nope? It’s early so just turn it around. We dwell at times on what we lost and we lose sight of what is to gain.
Not today 😉

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

Do not wait for praise.
But give your clients and team mates praise often. Sincerely. Small or big, just do it NOW.

Pick up the phone - text your client.

"You did an awesome job today! Thank you for the effort. It is wonderful to be working with you. "

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

When I’m doubt slow down, look wide check your moral compass, your goals and status, then determine if you need to:

1 persevere
2 pivot - too crappy of a situation
3 adjust to the new circumstances

Go do, build, live!

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

Can’t stress this enough. If you feel “busy” but unproductive get rid of
1 positions that do not serve you
2 busy tasks that do not produce a thing
3 people who tax your schedule for nothing in return

Declutter space and mind to get clarity NOW!

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

You make money 2 ways

1 - doing what others won’t
2 - doing what others can’t

I like both - work as hard as only few can and do what very few have the patience to practice and perfect.

Find work that feels like play to you.

You will never work again.

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

What if we just get 1% better every week? 50% better per year - pretty cool… but…

Doable?

[Marian Podoleanu @MPodoleanu]

If you wake up stiff in the morning try stretching before going to bed.

Even if you do not wake up stiff, stretching before bed will help sleep also. 😴
