Clarity of Purpose



Clarity of purpose comes when you are pursuing the highest expression of your talents, are motivated primarily by the love of your activity, and live a lifestyle congruent with your stated purpose. When you have clarity of purpose, you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals—and you will love every minute of it.”

From the BBC: US researchers monitored the health of 1,700 people over 10 years, finding the most anxious and depressed were at the highest risk of the disease. Looks like John & Sir Paul were right once again, Happiness is a warm heart (bang, bang, shoot, shoot).

Welcome to another Monday. Many more will follow so you had better get used to it. We start our Mondays at 0530 with a high-intensity-progressive-overload 60 minute spin. We go hard. We go fast. We endure. For an interesting take on the difference between spinning and CompuTrainer Multi-Rider sessions (a debate dear to both valves of my heart) see this from Endure it Club in Naperville, IL.

As a result of the consistent use of either system we get stronger and faster. In some cases we even get happier. The latter as a direct result of our attention to detail, focus and work ethic and the resulting clarity of purpose that it develops.

Ask me: What is more important, getting faster and stronger or becoming more happy?

Then let me ask you: "Why do you have to pick one when you can have both?"

"When you have clarity of purpose, you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals—and you will love every minute of it.”
