Week 4, Day 1 - Persistence

Went to the dentist before today's workout and since its Halloween coming up and I'm a teacher, I asked him how to get kids to brush their teeth. The first word to come out of his mouth was 'persistence'.  If kids don't like to do something, parents need to use persistence until one day the kid will finally realize no matter how hard I kick, scream and cry, mom and dad are not giving in, so I might as well do it.  Another trick of course is to make brushing teeth fun by singing a song, or even showing a kids video if necessary for the younger ones. Regardless this lesson is also about life! Whenever you don't want to do something, (like working out perhaps) your mind will kick, scream and cry and find many excuses not to do it, but if we persist and don't give up, one day your mind will say "if you can't beat em, join em" - and you can chalk up another small success!
