When something has a high-value outcome or positive result, merely Trying to obtain that prize doesn't seem sufficient. We should TRAIN for the prize ahead. Count the cost. Determine the worth. Develop a plan. Train accordingly.
Does this scenario deserve Trying or Training?
Jump into this scene with me....You are just given a golden opportunity. A prestigious high-paying job just became available with your current employer. You have built solid relationships with the people who are in charge of hiring for this position. They feel you are more than capable of performing this job well.
Here's the deal. You have many skills that you are "pretty good" at. You have a general idea of what the job entails. The earnings (prize at the end) could change you and everyone's life in your realm for the better. It has the same hours, much more responsibility, but with significantly more of a REWARD for your hard work.
Here's the question. Does this sound like something you would TRY for or TRAIN for?
Application in Fitness/Health
Let's talk about Fitness, Health, Nutrition and Lifestyle from here forward as a combined topic. Let's just call it your Health.
The REWARD for having great Health is a long, active, life providing you with years of adventure, quality movement, family vacations, playing with your great-grandchildren, etc.
The options are quite simple:
Live a joyful and energetic life packed full of memories and exciting escapades. Move well, eat well and fuel a body that is fully capable of doing what a healthy mind can dream up on a whim.
Or
Live a life full of regrets with a disgruntled attitude caused by a body that isn't capable of performing basic daily functions, little on have days of fun and adventure. Without being mobile and in decent health, you may end up on the sidelines of life only to watch the people you love enjoy each other and the beautiful places God intends to bring us joy.
Your Choice: Try or Train
I would say "IF" you had to choose, which would you pick? The truth is, we are all choosing every day. What you do today determines your tomorrow, next week, next year, and when it comes to our health and quality of life as an older man/woman, everything we do determines our future. So would you like to TRY or TRAIN for a life worth living? Choose a life with a place in the center of all the fun, the love, and the memories, or choose a spot on the sidelines.

TRY or TRAIN for the Kingdom?
Don't you just love scenario's? Ultimately, every man/woman is faced with the decision to live for themselves or for the Kingdom of God. As human beings we instinctively look for the REWARD, the "what's in it for me" part of any situation. So let's talk about that. The reward for seeking first the Kingdom of God: Matthew 6:33 says "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."
Wait, so if I seek the Kingdom of God first, then HE will GIVE me everything I need?? Sounds pretty good. Here's another one.
John 10:10 ".... I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]."
Living a life with and for Jesus is what we were all made for. We were created for relationship, ultimately a relationship with our Creator. When we submit to His ways, put Him first in our lives the REWARD is both here and now in this life on earth and forever and ever in eternity with Him, our Father, our Creator.
Your Choice: Try or Train
Live for More: Live a life on earth with friends and family to the fullest. Live a life so full of joy that it overflows. That is what is being offered by God, through his Son. I would dare say that nothing else on the face of this earth offers such a plan with such a great reward. Not only that, NOTHING on earth offers a reward after this life. So His offer is a life of fulfillment, joy, and purpose WHILE we're alive and we've passed away. WOW! Why would the creator of heaven and earth offer such a thing? BECAUSE, He loves you. He chose you. He WANTS you. He wants nothing more than to have an active relationship with YOU!
I'm here to support any decision that you may be ready to make. Fitness, Health, and Jesus.
Some of my favorite words, all together. If you have TRIED to change your lifestyle, your fitness level, your health, or you have been to church, and tried reading the Bible or you wanna know more about this Jesus or His offer for you. Reach out, I'm passionate and called to lead others in All those things combined. Let's TRAIN to be Fit. Fit for this life and for the Kingdom!
