The 5 F’s to live by
Faith, Family, Fitness, Finance and Fun.
That’s it! Stop reading you’ve got the magic pills to happiness. I’m just kidding (unless you know what I’m about to say next). Chicken and waffles. (You lose.)
I love fried chicken waffles and beer! That’s tough when you make a living teaching and preaching fitness.
I was at a fitness nutrition seminar in Texas when a speaker came to the stage with what he called “The four F’s of Success”. I was enthralled by his descriptions and took detailed notes. I wish I remembered his name to give him his due credit but, I do not.
I’ve ordered the F’s but there is no order and this is very important to understand. If each F represents an important part of your life (or lives you are responsible for) and none of the five F’s can be neglected.
Faith- We all believe something that guides or behaviors and scense of right versus wrong.
Family- No need for definitions here. Just, remember that people that Love You Are Your Family, blood relation or otherwise.
Fitness- Your Health is important to every facet of your existence. A 6 pack stomach may or may not interfere with your other F’s. Maybe a solid 2/4 pack abs would keep you from neglecting your family at holidays and functions.
Finance- You must keep food in your belly and a roof over your head to be able to focus on your other F’s.
That is where the speaker left off. I started my small business and realized 18 months later that there must be one more F.
Fun- What’s the point if you aren’t really enjoying life!? Just make a list of what you do daily, then make a list of what you want to do daily, then adjust accordingly.
Microphone drop! Love you all, and I’m here for you. Have a great and healthy life.
