It’s the beginning of a new year and it’s a perfect time to evaluate with a fresh mind where you are going in life. Consider the quote “change is evitable; growth is optional.” As time passes, and as you gain more experience and wisdom, are you growing, though? Are you growing your mental, emotional, spiritual, financial, and physical levels? If you are growing in all aspects of your life, then great! Way to go, and keep it up.

We learn all kinds of skills this way. One skill for example, is the air squat. If what is programmed for the class to do one day is to perform 20 air squats in a row, as fast as possible, then the instructor should teach the air squat first.
