So said ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson nearly 30 years ago.
Apparently it’s been paraphrased, but I like this version more.
And it’s true.
Sometimes life punches us in the mouth.
Sometimes a gentle jab.
Sometimes a Tysonesque almighty right hook.
And the key is what we do when that happens.
Work, family and other stuff will regularly get in the way of our planned workout.
Others will challenge our plans to eat better.
The original plan is often made impossible.
But we don’t need to let it knock us down completely (you may want to check myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting if it previously had and you’re ready to get back up).
We can ‘roll with the punches’ and make a ‘nearly as good’ Plan B.
A different session, a home workout, the best food option under the circumstances.
Next time your Plan A is thwarted, just go with it and do the next best thing.
It might ‘take a few more rounds’ to get there………..
But it’ll get us there way quicker than being knocked down by every punch we get.
Much love,
Jon ‘Coeur’ Hall and Matt ‘Nine from outer space’ Nicholson
