Life and gym

Life is much like going to the gym. The most painful part is deciding to go. Once you get past that, it's easy. There have been many days I have dreaded going to the gym, but once I am there and in motion, it is a pleasure. After the workout is over, I am always glad I talked myself into going.
-Robert T. Kiyosaki in Rich Dad Poor Dad

well steve, who knows this better than me?? you better know how many times I have joined gym and found it difficult and ran away..when'll u go to gym again??and this time i'll make sure that I stick to it. Give me a missed call whenever u r goin to gym.

@dc
goddd! r u online 24 hrs?!
but i agree abt studying! i start only at the last moment when i start getting goosebumps just thinking of my screwing up in d papers! that too half-heartedly..

@amod
u said it... but i too feel it at times! especially when i smell something good is cooking while proceeding 2 d gym!
n forget it! u can never do it mate! where have i heard that before:P?!

yeah well gettin up and goin to the gym aint half as hard as to wake with an excruciatin pain in ur joints and still hav the spirit to go to the gym

i had to walk as if i had a cast on for da first 3 days.. hehehe

Indeed very true. I have expereinced this innumerable times.

It becomes even more difficult when people who get to know that you are going to gym look at you with an expression that smacks of mockery and astonishment.

yes that happens it is always hard to take d first step..
and DC it takes more to keep going wid books than in gym..

btw what is this book u r reading..

Yea i agree! Every morning i have to convince myself to go for a walk and shed my laziness. Sometimes i give in, sometimes i don't. Its the same with life. Everyday is a new day, and we have to start from scratch and convice ourselves to do what's right. But in the end, i enjoy being 'miss right'!! ;)

"How very true", yes. It is the going up part that is difficult... not after the start. There used to be a similar example in physics about inertia and friction and all.

Yea i sure am glad about not being the only one stuck here! btw u guessed my name correctly..n no i dont think we knw each other...yet!

@sudipta
i agree! but starting does prove a bit cumbersome n tedious as far as gym is concerned... even painful! but gradually when u see d muscles cropping up, u feel good n have a reason 2 work out

@divya

The hard part of any work is to get started. Once it is done, everything else take care of itself.
