Striving for greatness is at the heart of the virtue called “magnanimity”. Yeah, it’s a big word but it simply means ‘greatness of soul’ as described by Edward P. Sri in his article ‘Called for Greatness’.
You’ve got the call up; you have committed the next 30 days to focus on your health and fitness, and as some would put it, to get ready for summer! We challenge you to make this Body Reboot more than a quick ‘get summer ready’ program, make it about challenging yourself out of your comfort zone. As Pope Benedict XVI said, “The world offers you comfort. But you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness”.
Use this 30 day challenge to do the things you tend to shy away from even though you know they are good for you. Maybe its fear of failure or that you tend to avoid things that are difficult or challenging. Maybe you just need to amp things up a little and push through some barriers. Let this Body Reboot be a start to greatness in your life.
To achieve your goals, think ‘greatness’ for the next 30 days and push through to the end. Alexandre Havard puts it nicely, “magnanimity can set the tone of your entire life, transforming it and giving it new meaning”.
Become your best; perspire your way to greatness!
