Are great things ever done smoothly? Time, Patience, and indomitable will must show.

Doing great things!

To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. 'I will drink the ocean,' says the persevering soul, 'at my will mountains will crumble up.' Have that sort of energy, that sort of will, work hard, and you will reach the goal.

I will drink the ocean!

Do not for a moment quail. Everything will come all right. It is will that moves the world.

The sheer power of the 'will' will do everything.

Will is not strengthened by change. It is weakened and enslaved by it. But we must be always absorbing. Will grows stronger by absorption.

ABSORB WILL

Love concentrates all the power of the will without effort.

The will is stronger than anything else. Everything must go down before the will, for that comes from God and God Himself; a pure and a strong will is omnipotent.

 STRENGTH of WILL comes from GOD

The centre which regulates the respiratory system, the breathing system, has a sort of controlling action over the system of nerve currents ... from rhythmical breathing comes a tendency of all the molecules in the body to move in the same direction. When mind changes into will, the nerve currents change into a motion similar to electricity ... This shows that when the will is transformed into the nerve currents, it is changed into something like electricity. When all the motions of the body have become perfectly rhythmical, the body has, as it were, become a gigantic battery of will.

BREATHING

Give me the grace to will. Give me the power of will. Will that comes from God and flows through me. I pray for my will to absorb in my self (and identity) again and again.

Understand yourself and those around you.

Will Power by Vivekananda

Exercise is good for you. Virtually all medical professionals would sign off on that proposition, and so would most of the rest of us, even at a time when some portion of the population rejects plenty of other health-related expertise, like calls for vaccinations. Being physically active has been shown to decrease the risks of developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers. It is known to combat anxiety and depression; strengthen bones and muscles; sharpen cognition; improve sleep and extend longevity.

Exercise: What We Know

<ul><li>Modern fitness is shaped by neoliberal ideas of the optimizable self, by consumer capitalism, by race and class privilege, and by gender norms.</li><li>The fitness industry has a history of exclusion, catering to middle- and upper-class white people with disposable income</li></ul>Just as the rich get richer, the fit tend to get fitter and too often, the poor get sicker. And then there’s the problematic fact that exercising has, for several decades, been linked to virtue, creating stigmas against people who can’t or don’t want to or even don’t look like they work out.

The Truth About The Fitness Industry

Amid the marketing of unattainable physical ideals, it’s easy to forget what made fitness fun.

Tips To Get The Maximum Traction

The benefits of walking every day on our cardiovascular system, according to fitness experts. Plus, how often do we need to walk to reach our weekly exercise goals?

Is a daily walk enough exercise to keep you fit? 

Infinite strength is religion and God. Avoid weakness and slavery.

If you think yourselves weak, weak you will be; if you think yourselves strong, strong you will be.

If there is sin, this is the only sin, to say that you are weak, or others are weak.

The older I grow; the more everything seems to me to lie in manliness. This is my new gospel.

My children... only cowards and those who are weak commit sin and tell lies. The brave are always moral. Try to be moral, try to be brave, try to be sympathizing.

Be Brave

Strength is life, weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal, weakness is constant strain and misery; weakness is death.

Iron nerves with an intelligent brain -- and the whole world is at your feet.

Be bold, face facts as facts. Do not be chased about the universe by evil.

Arise, Awake and sleep no more; within each of you there is the power to remove all wants and all miseries.

Mystery mongering and superstition are always signs of weakness. These are always signs of degradation and of death. Therefore, beware of them; be strong, and stand on your own feet.

Superstition

This is the first lesson to learn: be determined not to curse anything outside, not to lay the blame upon any one outside, but be a man, stand up, lay the blame on yourself. You will find, that is always true.

Blame

Blame none for your own faults, stand upon your own feet, and take the whole responsibility upon yourselves. Say, 'This misery that I am suffering is of my own doing, and that very thing proves that it will have to be undone by me alone.'

Blame undone

is my advice to you. You will be nearer to Heaven through football than through the study of the Gita. These are bold words; but I have to say them, for I love you. I know where the shoe pinches. I have gained a little experience. You will understand the Gita better with your biceps, your muscles, a little stronger. You will understand the mighty genius and mighty strength of Krishna better with a little of strong blood in you. You will understand the Upanishads better and the glory of the Atman when your body stands firm upon your feet, and you feel yourselves as men.

Be strong, my young friends; that

Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvellous work. The moment you fear, you are nobody. It is fear that is the great cause of misery in the world. It is fear that is the greatest of all superstitions. It is fear that is the cause of our woes, and it is fearlessness that brings heaven even in a moment. Therefore, 'Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.'

Afraid? No!

Arise, Awake and stop not t﻿ill the goal is reached.

Everything that can weaken us as a race, we have had for the last thousand years... Therefore, my friends, as one of your blood, as one that lives and dies with you, let me tell you that we want strength, strength and every time strength. And the Upanishads are the great mine of strength. Therein lies strength enough to invigorate the whole world... They will call with trumpet voice upon the weak, the miserable, and the downtrodden of all races, all creeds, and all sects to stand on their feet and be free.

Ask for strength and every time strength !

Fear cannot be vanquished, it can only be replaced by strength, courage, trust or love. I give in to myself, I accept my strength of fear and allow this to transform me.

If you’ve ever watched <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a37755705/olympic-weightlifting-vs-powerlifting/">a powerlifting competition</a>, you know that the athletes compete in three events: deadlift, squat, and bench press. But even if you’ve never witnessed those strong competitors move mind-boggling amounts of iron, odds are that those very same exercises—or at least variations of them—are the bedrock of your training program. Sure, your workouts are filled with countless other moves, but the one you perform first in each workout while your muscles are still fresh is likely one of the “big three.”

The Big Three Exercises

Compared to isolation exercises such as the biceps curl, dumbbell fly, and calf raise, which target a single muscle group and move a single joint, compound (multi-muscle, multi-joint) movements provide significantly more bang for your strength-training buck. Indeed, by recruiting and engaging more lean mass, compound exercises can help you build more of it as well.

Compound Movements

These exercises require several muscle groups spanning at least two joints to work together to get the job done. If even one of them isn’t up to the task (e.g., because it's fatigued or not yet strong enough to pull its own weight), the rest of the team (read: your body) suffers, leading to sub-par performance and sub-optimal results.

Multi-Muscle Movement: The Challenge

Skew the balance of the exercises in your training plan toward compound exercises, performing the most heavily loaded ones and those that place a premium on relative strength (e.g., pullup, chinup) at the beginning of your workouts. That will ensure that every muscle involved is able to exert its full strength.But don’t discount the value of isolation exercises either. Sometimes laser-focusing on a single muscle group is exactly what’s required to bust through a plateau, jumpstart hypertrophy, or strengthen a weak link that has been holding you back in a compound move.

The Bottom Line

Compound exercises are staple workout moves like the bench press, squat, and deadlift, which engage multiple muscle groups. Here's how to use them in workouts.

Compound Exercises Are the Key to Big Gains

Cycling is vigorous exercise, and buckets of research have found a strong correlation between improved mental health and exercise. Granted, we don’t know for sure that it’s causal.
But it kind of stands to reason: Cycling gets your heart pumping, which improves blood- and oxygen flow to your brain and triggers your body’s self-regulation mechanisms. A sound mind in a sound body.

The Usual “Exercise Is Good for You” Science

There aren’t a ton of studies specifically probing whether cycling improves mental health. But there are a few suggestive findings: This study found <a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Effects-of-active-commuting-on-health%E2%80%90related-of-Neumeier-Loidl/3022267af8b1d4a06c7b56a25d55c5dcbb76e0ec">people who cycled to work had better mental health</a>; another small one found cycling <a href="https://bpsmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1751-0759-7-18">reduced the presence of the stress hormone cortisol</a>; yet another discovered that cycling for half an hour improved performance <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3809627/">on mental tests (of memory, reasoning, and planning)</a>.

Cycling Improves Mental Health

Most people find that when they go for a walk, they absorb the street scene better than when they race by in a car. Obviously! But cycling is, for me, the perfect sensual midpoint between the two. You get the visual banquet of walking, but because you’re going faster you get a bigger, longer feast — miles and miles of busy streets, in technicolour close-up.

You See the World Vividly and Up Close

Exercise always feels nice, of course, whether it’s playing a game of pickup football or going for a run. But when you cycle for a practical purpose — i.e. for transportation, to get from point A to point B — there’s an additional thrill. It gives you a radical sense of self-reliance. Travelling such long distances entirely under your own steam, distances that easily rival the ones that typically require a car or a train has a Promethean quality. You feel like a minor demigod.After you’ve travelled a serious distance on a bike, it’s hard to feel down on yourself.

You Feel Like You’ve Got Superpowers

In New York, if you’re taking a car or the subway, you’re always slightly nervous that something will screw up and you’ll be late. I mean, maybe you’ll be lucky? But then when you least expect it, wham: You run into a thick knot of traffic or an implacably mysterious subway delay — and now you’re a ball of stress, sitting in your car fuming.With cycling, there is no traffic that can slow you down. Part of what makes cycling so appealing is that it is highly meritocratic. Effort = distance, in a completely linear fashion. This feeds the soul.

It Removes Stress and Uncertainty from Urban Travel

Cycling is clearly useful for lifting one’s mood if you’re otherwise healthy, and merely facing normal funks and malaise. If you’re living with clinical depression it’s a different problem altogether, requiring careful medical attention. Cycling’s wonderful, but it is not a substitute for treatment.

Today I stumbled upon this gentleman’s post on Tik Tok — where he describes how cycling has made him happier. I love this guy’s video, because it describes something I’ve often felt but had never…
