step 1: purpose

Have you decided yet? Are you still sitting on the fence?

Isn't there something? Anything?

You need a cause, a reason.

If you want to make change in your life you need to define your purpose.

Now for the sake of this example we are not going to go through the process of working out our big purpose in life. That is something you should be thinking about, something you should be taking your time to consider.

For this step we are going to set a fairly common purpose, a universal purpose, a purpose that will help us work on anything else we want to do in our lives.

Our purpose is to simply achieve fitness.

Fitness is worth the effort. Being fit will help you in everyday life. Life generally gets in the way of fitness and we are going to take steps to prevent that. If you are young you are probably fit already or nearly so, if you are older you know that fitness slips slowly away from all of us unless we work on it a little bit.

Achieving fitness is our goal, our purpose. You should stop right now and write it down, post it where you can see it, think about it. It is worth the effort.
