The body holds secrets if not answers to progress and success.
I notice that now I’m working out in different ways — like I used to — with swimming and weights, I feel different. My body is getting stronger and that picks up the rest of my attitude, for the better.
I remember Don Juan telling Carlos that all the secrets to his knowledge was contained in the body. And while he didn’t have to use too much of his intellect (as far as I know), he does have a point.
With my body stronger, my mind doesn’t have to overcompensate for mere achievement. Firming the upper body as a part of the body as a whole — mind and spirit included — is a small but significant step.
Strive = drive. Pain = gain.
