Here’s the first step: Forget what you think you know about getting fit.

“Anyone who uses blame as the reason why something happened or did not happen will never accumulate real success in life and only further his or her status as a slave on this planet.”

“Good things don't happen to victims; bad things do—quite frequently—and all you have to do is ask them.”

“Whether I am in control or not, I still elect to claim responsibility and control so that I can do something to improve my situation going forward.”

“First, if we live in a purely natural, physical world governed by the “cause and effect” relationships between chemical processes in our brains, “free will” is an illusion, and the idea of true moral choice is nonsensical. How can I, as a detective, hold a murderer accountable for a series of chemical reactions that occurred in his brain when he didn’t have the freedom to escape the causal chain of biological events?”
― J. Warner Wallace, Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels
