Senior Fitness With Meredith

“I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.” -Thomas JeffersonThis motivation is about “luck” in our lives. A funny word, because is there such a thing as luck... or is it us putting in the work, putting ourselves in a situation, trying hard, that is the luck?! MeredithSupport the showSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.”-Bruce LeeThis week’s motivation is about how we want to put limits on our abilities. When there truly are no limits if we believe more in ourselves, try something, break past the plateau, and keep moving forward. Our brain wants to limit us, but we must tell it along with our body and hearts that we can do it!MeredithSupport the showSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
