Gym Experience

Me and and WAR Life Coach Mike Lopez at the South West Regional last weekend.

What an incredible little community we are creating here at WAR. I'm so thankful for everyone who is involved. It's a beautiful thing when a group of people get behind a cause. 

It's a beautiful thing when people change through that cause, where they become united as one, then causing them to become passionate about helping others to change through that same cause that miraculously changed them.

Keep fighting the WAR everyone; I'm so thankful for the WAR Lifestyle, for without it I'd be lost.

Patience plays a key role in change. Not only does the WAR program promote being “slow to anger”, but we also promote patience in allowing the WAR lifestyle to sink in and change you. Change just doesn’t occur because we say we want to change, or think we need to change. Change takes time; it’s not immediate. We have to be patient and willing to receive things slowly. We have to be diligent in our pursuit to change; and more importantly, have the ability to deal with the downtimes life often presents us with. These downtimes may be quiet weekends that are slow and a lot of times boring. This doesn’t mean that life is now just boring, and that there is no hope to have fun. It just means that we have to find positive and uplifting things to do that are in line with the WAR lifestyle. We have to find something new that will feel that void in our life, like exercise, reading, movies, or any uplifting activity that is different to us – yet still entertaining. We have to patiently grow in a different direction. Being patient means coming to the realization that there are no short cuts to growth; and that any attempted shortcut may seem to work for a time, but in the end we will be of no further distance, and may have actually regressed due to the falseness of our pursuit.Assignment: Write about this concept. What areas in your life can you be more patient in? Can you see how that you not only need to be slow to anger, but more importantly, patient in allowing the WAR lifestyle to change you? Endurance is what it takes. Write about this concept, and then email it to me or post it on the blog. dustin@workoutaddictionrecovery.com
