65 / 365 Grow Muscles,
Destroy Flesh
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a
habit.
Aristotle
Growth and decay are parts of nature. We
have to decide which we want to encourage. In a garden, if you don’t grow
plants, weeds will grow since it is natural. If you want the plants to be green
and healthy, you have to do weeding out.
We either grow muscles or flesh. When we
grow muscles, we become stronger and sturdier. If we grow flesh, it will create
health problems. Intelligent people will take efforts to grow muscles and
reduce flesh. Similarly, we either develop healthy or unhealthy habits, traits,
attitudes, character, friends etc. If these are healthy, they act as muscles.
Once every month, examine if you are allowing these negative elements to grow.
Periodically check out if you are proactive to grow positive attitudes, habits,
friends, traits, etc. Unless you invest time and resources to develop these
positive elements in you, you will land up in an unhealthy environment, which
will hamper your growth. If you don’t nip them in the bud, you will need a
massive cleaning operation, which will be time consuming and tiring.
Invest your time on this important
portfolio.
