Civilize the mind but make savage the body. That's the motto of this blog and my personal goal in life. I've done a good job making savage the body. I'm down 50lbs, I am stronger, faster and in better condition. But I've also tried to civilize the mind, I am constantly trying to learn. Whether taking a class, watching a documentary, listening to a podcast or reading a book. At the beginning of the year, I set a goal to read 12 books in 2016. Not a huge goal, but a goal. I finished my 12th book tonight and have a list of books to read a mile long. I have no set style of book I like or don't like, I want to be entertained, but I also want to learn. I've found a good mix. I go through phases where I read a lot then I won't read at all for a week.
I still have plenty of room to improve both phsyically and mentally and I am continuing to grow every day. Trying to be 1% better today than I was yesterday. Both physically and mentally.
As Wolf Brigade Gym's Greg Walsh says, "A strong body governed by a weak mind is no more useful than a sports car powered by a hamster wheel."
