LIFE = GYM (the analogy)

My suggestion to all dear readers is...all those who are either interested in general theories about life or believe in leading a fit and healthy life by exercising,kindly proceed and as for the rest,sorry..nothing of interest for you here..maybe in the next blog that I write :)

I sit and wonder(one usually does this when one has a lot of idle time),
the equivalence relationship between a gym and one's life....

When we go to a gym,the reason for going can differ for different people.
some go so that they can impress the opposite sex,some go to stay fit,some go to reduce that excess flab..to look presentable...etc...
Same destination,different paths....
In life,one is bound to face obstacles which hamper the growth process(speaking on strictly individual terms). Similiarly,due to our busy lives..often, something is bound to make us deviate from our strict regime..which has helped us be in the physical shape we are ,presently.
And once we stop going to the gym,the body suffers..the results go down...
and we slowly but surely resume our previous miserable physical state(or somewhat similiar)
Life is just like that...
We face certain obstacles which make us feel down,defeated,downright sad...but when the 'busy' period is over...
We begin again,start afresh..
it's difficult in the beginning..
the recurring pains...of muscles working out...
tough physical exercises..strenuous stuff.
But if we persist...we find,that it doesn't take as much(as it did the first time) to regain the same level of fitness..
In life,all our experiences teach us something..
even though they seem to teach nothing of major consequence
but what we fail to realise is that each provides valuable knowledge for the future...and those who acquire that knowledge and learn from it, succeed in life.
Now this starting workouts again with respect to life would represent
our getting up,recovering from the losses(a term used to provide generality)
and beginning again...the hope...the faith..the persistence
all important ingredients to a successful and happy life.

I guess nature has a lesson in this for all of us.
I believe nature,like a wise mother gives it's children latent advice and hopes that they read between the lines and read the message that has been lying around for quite sometime.
