Do this, do that, don't do this, don't do that. I'm sure you've encounter these type of statements multiple times a day whether you are conscious of them or not. Whether someone verbally commands or ask you or whether they just happen to pop into your head. In the end, you do it or you do not.
Now, after you have taken action, the decision will instantly or gradually result with a powerful affect or it may have felt or may feel there was no affect at all. We all make decisions based upon what we know, how much time we have, and what we have hope in. We may not want to exercise, but some decide to do it anyways because of what they know (benefits vs cons). We may want to play, but some decide not to because of time constraints. We may want to eat out because of this or that, we may want to stay home and eat because of this or that. Maybe we are given a condition that more forcefully makes us do or not do something. In the end, a decision is made.
Decisions that are made where we are in complete control will weaken or strengthen us in a positive or negative direction. Every decision has it's opposite. Light and darkness, joy and pain, happiness and misery, hot and cold, etc. When we make a decision and we honestly feel it is the correct decision, it will build self worth. Symbolically speaking, lifting weights, in spite of the pain and soreness, when the tissue repairs itself though proper nourishment and rest, we gain strength. Can you imagine the empowerment strong people feel? The extra freedom they have to do physical things that others may not be able to do?
Decisions that are made where the decision is basically made for you or in other words, you didn't have any say in the matter, I'll save this topic for another time to discuss.
I'm not done with the current topic of "Muscle", but I'm out of time today.
