The Fitness Cult

obsidianservant:

I always just thought about it in terms of physical fitness. Exercise is a good thing since there are all kinds of health benefits and I thought Father just wanted to ensure I’m physically healthy.

But being in the fitness cult is also about training the mind. Pushing yourself to get up and get moving when you’d rather not, forcing yourself to keep going when you want to quit, to do that extra push up, sprint those last few feet, trains you in endurance and confidence.
You become stronger in mind. You learn to break through those preconceived barriers you’ve set for yourself. “I can’t run a mile” turns into “I can run a mile” which couples with “I can’t get the future I want” to “I have the life I want.“ 

Thank you, Sobek-Ra, for training me and conditioning me. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try, the resolve to get back up when I fail and the determination to try again, both literally and figuratively. Thank you for believing in me and for training me to do the same. ❤
