Show Notes
Perspective helps frame an individual’s definition of struggle. Some report “struggles” with diet or fitness goals, while others deal with life issues of sickness or the death of a loved one. Scott doesn’t think they compare.
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”
-Helen Keller
- How people define struggle and suffering varies.
- Some people see working toward diet and fitness goals as true struggle.
- Considering the suffering associated with sickness and loss of life, diet and fitness struggles don’t seem to compare.
- Scott shares recent examples of people he knows who are dealing with disease and loss of life.
- Larger life issues—such as terminal disease or loss of loved ones—add perspective when considering fitness and diet “struggles.”
- Fitness and diet struggles are frequently self-imposed, unlike death and disease.
- A healthy lifestyle should be a choice…something to be enjoyed.
