Survive the Gate of Fire

Folks I saw the movie 300 recently and as my regular recruits will know the Battle of Thermopylae (on which the movie was loosely based) is one of my favourite inspirational stories. Basically when the Spartan King was faced with an invading force that threatened his country, politics and religion prohibited him from mobilising his own army (still tiny in comparison) so with a force of just 300 he set off to defend his country against the invading hordes of at least 250, 000!

That one battle was pivotal in the war against the persians and ensured the defenders would eventually claim victory. The Spartan King Leonidas did this because he had faith in himself and those warriors in the platoon around him to make a true difference no matter what the nay-sayers said.

The moral: When you tell people that you want to make a positive change (not restricted to fitness programs), too often they will offer various negative opinions. These people could be co-workers, friends and even family, be polite say thanks then go and make the decision that you know is the right choice for you. Because when they see that you followed through, worked smart, hard and persevered and are now getting the results you envisioned they will admire you for it (even if they don't admit it publicly).

More on the Spartans in future posts!
