Wagons Are For the Oregon Trail

Ok, maybe that is unfair to say. Oregon Trail is one of the greatest computer games ever created. Joking aside I want to talk to you about something today that I hear all of the time! "Kris, I need to get back on the wagon." I scratch my head, take a look over my left shoulder. Nothing there. So I quickly look to my right, and hmm, there is nothing there. I give them a look of confusion and ask, "What are you talking about?" Meaning, THERE IS NO WAGON!

I want everyone to realize there is no wagon that comes and goes and hopes you hop on. If such a wagon existed, one would think its main goal would be to throw people off. Leaving me to wonder why anyone would want a ticket to ride?

This wagon we all speak of is known as an excuse. It's something we talk about when we have given up, messed up, or failed. We forget that one of the biggest SECRETS TO SUCCESS is failure. So we hang our heads, throw our goals out the window, and just wait for the wagon to come around again. But guess what! The wagon never left, and you never got off the wagon. I know, it's trippy. It's like some sort of Hugh Jackman Illusionist trick (He is both jacked and a great actor by the way.)

You are always on your journey, always learning, always fine tuning your crafts. What we need to remember is that our health is something we master throughout life. It takes practice, ups and downs, trial and error. But it never once stops progressing. You should be continually learning what does and does not work. You will learn from mistakes and refine your process which in turn make that skill easier to complete later on.

If you actively put effort into fine tuning your health and never taking the "off the wagon" attitude, you will see that your progress never stops. Where you are now, compared to a year ago, and that compared to where you will be a year from now, eventually you will see the leaps and bounds you have made. Your job from there is to reach out and serve. There are a lot of us out here. We are all at different parts of our journey, riding in our "wagons". Don't hesitate when you see another in need of rewiring to teach them they don't need a hamster wheel, or jug of powder to be healthy. What they need is support, love, accountability, ownership, education, and motivation. None of which are sold on the shelves of your local body builder powder and pill depot.

Do what you love and love what you do, right? Cliche? Of course it is. Rather, just do EVERYTHING with LOVE and PASSION. Then, watch how it comes back to your life.
