Since We Last Spoke

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.  I’ll meet you there.  When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.”

The one “thing” that keeps us writing is the friendships we have developed over the past year with you, our dear readers.  All of us have different backgrounds, yet we also share a great deal in common.

Grown up chat time amongst close friends.

Many well-intentioned blog-o-sphere peeps common belief is that:  If they buy the right book, find the right workout program, discover the proper weight-loss program, employ the right combination of body spray, dress in the latest seasonal Lululemon colors, eat organic fruit from Whole Foods … While also having the latest gadget, having the best yoga mat in class, chanting the best mantra, eating gluten-free, pressing the right pressure-points while foam rolling and breathing the proper way chomping on a veggie burger?  Everything in their nettlesome lives will be perfect.

Here’s the truth between friends.

If you drink more than a liter of water a day, find nice shoes that fit, and go for a walk daily (even when it’s nasty outside), only THEN will all of our life’s mysteries and problems be solved.

We know you don’t want to hear this next series of thoughts, tough luck!  We, YOU and the peeps behind you.  Spend too much of our day, day dreaming and writing witty blog posts on why our lives seem so oddly out of balance.  We want to make life better for those we love.  We also want to improve the world we call home and give it the wisdom of what we have to offer.  We want to know how to do “something” better and we look to those who will provide guidance.

Here’s the problem:  We spend so much time giving advice to others that we simply forget about ourselves.

The advice we give only satisfies the recipients appetite for so long, then the hunger strikes again.  Wanting better, fresher and smarter advice than the day before.  A vicious cycle begins …

Do you truly want to know how to improve across all areas of your life?  From doing the wash to performing a kipping pull up?

Notes:

You should eat a gluten-free, vegan diet and wash it down with some refreshing coconut water.  Boot camps are for the weak at mind, X-Fit is where it’s at.  Pilates is for soccer moms and Yoga is for, well … If you ever needed advice?  You won’t find it here friends.  Be well today and ENJOY!!!


Day and Night

Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more-

Sadly, we have resorted to drastic measures peeps.  Normally we like to keep it light and fluffy on Thursdays, always have and always will, maybe?!? The proverbial line in the sand has been drawn, until the NHL starts playing again?  We will be showing cheeky Canadian videos on Thursday mornings … Sorry.

**Be forewarned!  It’s all downhill from here, Strange Brew and Degrassi Junior High vid’s are on tap for next week.**

Inspiring

Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant-

Lead.Learn.Live … Thank you for your thoughtful nomination of the Inspiring Blog Award.  For the longest time we thought there was only one amazing and brilliant person living in British Columbia?!? That’s right … Burnaby’s finest:  Joe Sakic!

Practicing the art of giving is something we take very seriously here at CultFit.  The act of giving is actually very simple.  Yet very few people take the time to give onto others.

Our suggestion as we move along this morning:  If you want to lead others with confidence and conviction?  Foster the habits that allow you to lead.  If you want joy in your life?  Take the time to share joy with other people around you.  If you want love to accompany you?  Learn to give love onto others.  If you want to Live life?  Pull back the shades a tiny bit and gaze upon what awaits you outside … That is where you learn to live.

When one receives an award such as the Inspiring Blog Award.  There are a set of instructions that accompany it, explaining how to pass the award on to others.  We just crumpled the instructions up and threw them in the corner with all the other nifty instructions about “Life”!  Heck, Did we use the instructions for our IKEA living room set?!?  Nope … “Hey, Um … We highly suggest you don’t place your beer right there mate.  You have been warned”.

Let’s explore some authentic, inspiring peeps together:

Good Guy Pig!!!
