I once heard a quote: “Time is the most valuable currency; where we spend it determines our destiny.” A lot of people say it, and I’m not

Just Get Started: The Solution Usually Comes A lot of people think they need the perfect plan before stepping into the gym or onto the mat. They worry about how they’ll look, how much they’ll struggle, or whether they’ll fail. That fear builds and builds, until the challenge feels bigger than it really is.
