I think I should look into getting a personal trainer…

I know what I need to do in order to stay in shape, it’s the kick in the butt I need on a daily basis to get me out there doing it!

I really enjoyed this post as I enjoy trying to maintain my fitness despite the demands of a 9 to 5. For me the best part of the post was the following line: "If you don’t have the ability to do the things you want, are you doing the things now to eventually get to that point?" If you are not putting in the effort to achieve what it is that you want, it will never happen. Very few people luck into doing what they want, except for those who discover luck through hard work.

Hi Pat! Just stopping in to say I've read your last five or six articles and I've really enjoyed them. Found you through a link at my network partner, The Digerati Life. Sorry to hear about your layoff--well, not really, as it sounds like it was just the jump start you needed! No doubt this will end up being a positive for you, because as you put it, you've broke the chains. Look forward to your future posts.

@ Andy,

I totally feel for you. Isn’t it weird how just 1 “extra” or “free” day a week can make a huge difference in our lives? Even if the days were 25 hours instead of 24, I think life would be so much different, and easier. At least it’s not 23.

@ Eric,

I’m glad I’m inspiring you to get into action! That is really what this blog is all about. I commend you on taking the first real big step in changing how you live your life and admitting that you have “junk” that shouldn’t be there (or you shouldn’t spend as much time on). Some people can’t even get past that step. Awesome, keep us updated on how your blog is doing and let us know when you’ve got some new posts!

Thank you for your posts Pat. I can relate big time to the “ghost of fitness past” visiting me in the mirror every morning. And yet it is in the present that my gifts and inspirations always live. I can’t believe I am saying this, but I am beginning to finally own up to the fact that any resistance I have in any process is all my own “junk”, 99.9999% of it. It’s been a month since I worked on my blog. I’ve got to get out of my head and back to my passions.

Thanks again Pat. Your blog is inspiring me into action!

I agree, you have the world in your hand and due to your passive income you can make the most of your time (the one resource you can't actually get more of). In September I started on a 4-day work week and it was a revelation. Time to prepare good food, exercise more and enjoy myself. Work asked if I could temporarily go back to 5 days a week and in the past two weeks I have eaten rubbish, not exercised as much and feel like I have no time whatsoever. I know which I'd rather have.

@ Sarah,

Very good point! I just started today, so I have yet to notice the overall effectiveness of my work as a result of my training. Now I’m even more excited! Keep running, because your work is excellent =)

I would love a personal trainer! But seriously, you have a good point here...earning passive income should indeed allow us more time and access to things like bettering our health. I have another point to add: I think that exercising and being more fit and healthy in general can lead to increased ability to earn passive income. I recently started running on a treadmill daily at 7 a.m. every morning. I'm not a big fan of running, but so far the benefits have extended beyond my health--while I'm running, I come up with lots of my ideas for my blog and other passive income projects. Also, the few hours after I exercise are the my most productive of the day. So I want to continue because the benefits are real. Good luck with your own goals!
