Motivated Minds -> Moving Bodies

“Look at us! Why don’t we do this more often?” my good friend Gab said to me during a little trip we took through the Flat Iron district one day. Her words alone are proof to me that this concept works.

Why don’t we, though? What prevents us from getting out there? My theory is simply because we don’t know what we’re missing. That very lack of knowledge is the reason why we aren’t motivated to do so.

In the example of Gab and myself, we spent our first year of college in her room. She would sleep, and I would take pictures of her covered in random objects that I found. To us, that was fun, but we didn’t have any idea of what was out there waiting for us.

That day in Flat Iron, Gab and I literally fell in love with all these little stores that we stumbled upon. We were in heaven when we found this one store particular, Fisher Eddie’s, which sold amazing plates, glasses, and silverware for about 99 cents each. The events of that day proved to us that there is so much more out there, just waiting to be discovered.

So why don’t we? Why don’t get out there and live today? Today! Together! Let’s get out there, and experience everything that this city full of life has to offer! One excursion, like Gab and mine is all it takes to get you the mind motivated, and the body moving. So get out there and live! Altogether now!
