I was reading today and stumbled upon this quote:
“Remember: you shouldn’t be surprised that a fig tree produces figs, nor the world what it produces. A good doctor isn’t surprised when his patients have fevers, or a helmsman when the wind blows against him.”
-Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
I felt this was a relevant quote for the image and hope you all enjoy it! Sometimes in life we have the wind at our backs and sometimes we will have the winds against us. With proper preparation and planning we can be ready for either circumstance and neither should surprise us. I'm all about full-ownership lately and focusing on applying this philosophy to all areas of my life. Things don't happen to us, rather, they happen because of us!
I'm often asked about the Captain America plates on the barbell - they're from Onnit over in Austin, Texas. Surely a company whose values, fitness methodologies, and supplements I will be sharing more of with you all. I have two of my fitness certifications from them and their Durability course changed my life! Also, Onnit was one part of the earlier retailers to accept cryptocurrency and that alone says a lot!
Wishing everyone a great start to your week - may the winds be at your back!
