I Will Never Be A Gardener, Here's Why 👨🏻‍🌾

I heard this quote a couple days ago and it just blew my mind...

"It's better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war."

You can take many things away from this quote but when I read this, its communicating to me to be prepared.

Prepare for the worst case scenario and whatever situation is thrown at you, you will be able to handle it.

But if you are not prepared, you will be beaten by the potential of what you're facing.

If you prepare for war but only have to look after your garden, you will be able to cope.

However, if you prepare only to look after your garden and are thrown into war, your ability to cope, or survive, will be much lower than one of a warriors.

Here's an example.

You face a health scare that threatens your life.

So you start working out, eating healthy, increasing your physical activity level and implementing stress management tools to increase your health.

This is you preparing for the worst case scenario.

Whether your life is challenged or threatened in any way, you are doing the best you can to increase your chances of living.

You're a warrior in a garden, not a gardener in a war.

So many people wonder with fitness, "Why do you even bother? Lifting weights, watching what you eat. It's so much work!"

And there's many questions to this answer but here's two:

1) To increase the quality of the life you live.

2) To overcome limiting beliefs and obstacles that you thought were not achievable to overcome (inside and outside of the obvious physical nature of being strong and working out). This is what I like to call 'The Ripple Effect'.

And if those two reasons aren't high enough on your priority list, then I think you will one day.
