“There are two types of pain, the one that breaks you and the one that changes you. In the gym, pain is felt as a result of weakness leaving the body. Physical pain is the glue of transformation and the pain of progress. The more you endure the harder it gets to accept the thought of failure.” TwoBodyPainFeltResultsAcceptingBreakProgressTypeWeaknessHarderTransformationEndureLeavingGymGluePhysical Pain Author:Greg Plitt

“Time is the most important thing in human life, for what is pleasure after the departure of time? and the most consolatory, since pain, when pain has passed, is nothing. Time is the wheel-track in which we roll on towards eternity, conducting us to the Incomprehensible. In its progress there is a ripening power, and it ripens us the more, and the more powerfully, when we duly estimate it. Listen to its voice, do not waste it, but regard it as the highest finite good, in which all finite things are resolved.” LifeHumansImportantPainVoicePleasureProgressWasteHighestEternityRegardImportant ThingsTrackHuman LifeWheelsFiniteDepartureConductingRipening Author:Alexander von Humboldt
