HIT THE GYM

Gym - the word itself has a class to it as most people feel.  It is considered by some as an unwanted luxury or just the outcome of a lazy lifestyle that most of us have today.  Gym as many believe is a result of our laid-back attitude, poor eating habits and the lack of enthusiasm to work.

But I happened to visit the Gym and what I experienced was totally different.  When we talk about a positive space, it is usually a devotional place or place of meditation.  But my experience says we could include Gym in the list of positive spaces.  It sounds weird but yes, the place is truly positive.  You would find people happy there.  Going to Gym and continuing to go to Gym will require lot of patience, perseverance, hard work, goal-oriented efforts and dedication.  See already the list of positive virtues is down there.  I mentioned that I found the people happy there - probably because each one of them is there by their choice.  No one has been forced to go there.  It is one place where they have decided to give their best and it is their choice.  Their choice - yes, that is what makes the difference.  So when people make choices that they can own and when they work for it, results are delivered.  Things are difficult only when we have to do things we do not wish to or like to.  But here at the Gym, everyone is enjoying.

Apart from the above fact of self-made choice, there is one more reason I feel that Gym is a very positive place.  It is so because everyone there has decided to give that one or one and a half hour to themselves. Away from all worries of household chores, studies, job, family tensions, responsibilities, etc an hour or two only dedicate to your own self.  A time where you listen to your body, your soul, your pulse, your heartbeat.  What could be more beautiful than this in this busy ever-rushing world.

The essence of this whole thing is that when one makes choices for themselves, lives up to it, dedicates to it and then works to achieve goals - wonders happen.  This does not happen at a Gym alone but could happen in the world outside also.  It is just that I saw a reflection of it at the Gym.  I saw how happy people are when they get to do what they wish to away from the restrictions of the society.

Of course, I felt the Gym is a positive place among many other that could be.  The music, the vibes, the people working strongly towards their goal and an hour that has been dedicated to themselves.  It is heaven!!! Do hit the Gym someday.
