Move

The great tragedy in life is to get up and move.

The great triumph in life is the mind's ability to force you to.

There are benefits to movement
including:
good health,
a better career,
a sense of self worth and reliance.
But the human body does not desire, nor wish to move anywhere.

The human body is content to sit. and lay. and waste away.
But the mind controls the body, and deep within every mind is the desire to move.
The mind contains this desire, this passion, and the instinct to achieve, but some refuse to listen.

Those of us who are consumed with competition and no longer satisfied with ignoring our mind's urge, are the ones who make not only themselves, but the world, move.

Some beings are not human, for being human is not only a condition, but a state of mind. They are simply beings, granted through a state of living, but they lack a certain burning inside of themselves. Contentment is the root of all evil.

If you are content, you are the enemy.
There is always something to accomplish, and accomplishment is the answer to every question of self-doubt.

People move everyday because they are required to.
Few move because they desire to.
Make moves.
