DERAILMENT

"Anything that is purposed with carrying a load consistently for an extended period of time will eventually derail"

Think about it for a moment, the most well-built machinery eventually fails and needs maintenance. The best marriages and relationships experience crucial and disheartening disturbances. The body eventually ages and requires surgery. Your dream job will have days that give you nightmares.

Once we have accepted this fact, the next step is to determine what we will do once we have run off the track.

Although we know some wreckages are unsalvageable, we must be careful to inspect and be sure. An engineer or pilot can not simply walk away from their mass of wrecked metal without a damage assessment.

So let's talk about that.

When your situation derails use the following to evaluate if it is worth the maintenance (APPLE)

Assess yourself- has the situation harmed you permanently or consistently?

Profitability- does the situation add to your happiness, health, and overall life?

Power- does the situation make you feel powerful or powerless?

Limitless- does the situation present you with limitless life options and dreams or are you extremely limited and inhibited?

Edification- do you feel honored, respected, and encouraged?

This can be applied to relationships, jobs, friendships, and yes, even workouts!

Everything will get off track, it is your job to be cognitive of that and equip yourself with the knowledge, determination, and consistency to steer things back on the right path.

If you don’t learn from the last derailment or prepare for the next one, the damage will be just as intense or even worse.

"Things that were meant to destroy us but didn't are to be used as tools to equip us for the incoming attack, count yourself as a shameful soldier if you run out of bullets on the 2nd attack because you obviously didn't learn from the first one."
