Life is a playground!

Millions of people across the world woke up this morning with no access to clean water and nothing but a long day of grueling work ahead of them. If you’re reading this I’m 99.9999999% sure you, like me, are lucky enough to have woken up to a playground full of things.

They might not look like a playground full of things right now but it’s all a matter of perspective.

We can download music, movies and information on any subject we like at the touch of a button.

We have access to thousands of places you can go for no reason at all other than pure enjoyment; a park, a pub, a museum, a restaurant, a gallery, a shopping mall, a friend’s house, a zoo, a theatre, girl the list goes on.

And you have a gym you can go to any time you please with the sole purpose of making your body stronger, sexier and more enjoyable to live in.

And what are you doing with this playground full of things?

Are you enjoying them? Or have you forgotten they are there?

Are you making the most of the wonderful life you have? Or are you so distracted by worries and stress that you’re letting life slip by?

If life is a playground, then your body is designed to be the best fairground ride ever.

It should fill you with joy every single day.

Every time you look in the mirror and like what you see.

Every time you feel strong enough to accomplish every day tasks.

Every time you wake up feeling energized and full of vitality, ready for the day ahead.

Because your body is designed to serve you.

It should feel healthy, strong and vibrant. It should be able to do anything you ask of it.

If it doesn’t, if you struggle with simple daily tasks, if you can never find an outfit you like, if you look in the mirror don’t like what you see, it’s time to do something about it.

So what’s the take home lesson for today?

1. Go out there and enjoy your day, looking out for the simple things you can take pleasure in.
2. Do one thing that gets you closer to your body goals, big or small, make today the day.
