It's summertime, and people are into different fun and exciting activities. It may be the ocean breeze that makes people swim on the beaches. Others may enjoy the long ride reaching the mountain peak, offering the best view of the valley and the sky. Some may enjoy bonding moments with their family in their hometown while on summer vacation. Endless bucket lists to fulfill desires to unwind, feel relaxed, and live the most significant moments of their lives. These are what different personalities are up to as they experience the hottest season just before the onset of the monsoon.
Summertime brings us closer to our goals as we finally execute plans in action. As my New Year's resolution, I have set some goals to shed a few pounds, maintain an ideal weight, and get fit. Forget about Travel Inspirations momentarily and focus more on regaining better physical health. This way, I can do many activities and opportunities as I get back on track, feeling lighter and healthier. It seems like a simple goal, but determination and the willpower to make a brand-new start are the keys to making it happen. Willpower is not just a concept; it's a powerful force that can drive us towards our goals. And when you achieve these goals, the joy and satisfaction are unparalleled. Often, it's just a plan, and when a cycle of procrastination attacks, nothing happens, and the goal is dying; worse, it is just to have expired.
Over the years, I have learned to set an expiration date on the goal I set to accomplish. Never wait for the right or perfect moment; have the will to start and discover ways to improve as you get closer to success. Nothing in life comes easily from the start.
Willpower always sets us to burn our desires to become fast like a car or higher like an airplane. Our dream—it's limitless! Our pace brings us closer to the destination and to winning. Like a race, we burn the fuel of passion and perseverance and stay on track with agility and endurance.
I am determined, so I have to start... on my own time... my own pace. This summer season is ideal for physical activities as fitness enthusiasts bring awareness to people about the value of health and wellness. I witnessed the 2-day Fitstreet, an annual Bonifacio High Street, BGC event offering various body, mind, and spirit activities. These community events are not just about fitness but connection and support. They create a sense of belonging and encouragement, making the journey to health and wellness more enjoyable. Non-stop Zumba of different classes encourages everyone to relieve stiffness and start swaying the hips and losing love handles. Marathon is fun for those who would love to go the extra mile and burn calories fast while strengthening their core. Yoga and meditation are pure bliss. It's done just before the sun shines so bright in the serene environment. The Power of Meditation is alive! It's been a while since I last practiced it regularly, but the body, mind, and spirit must sync well for better awareness and moral consciousness.
Fitstreet, a community-driven fitness event, was created to inspire and motivate people to step up, move up, get started, and finish what they started. In years to come, we may live in a highly digital society, but being aware and conscious of what truly matters makes life precious.
A lifetime commitment to physical fitness might not be a goal for now, but a single step is enough to start the game. Starting small can be less overwhelming and more encouraging. Until we lose the energy and can no longer carry out the things we used to love. As long as we have the power and the will to live, we can go the farthest distance and live the most extraordinary life we deserve.
