Physical Fitness / Exercise and Success.... a question....

Mike....

Thank you for posting that.

About relationships.... Sadly, my girlfriend broke up with me less than 2 months ago (though we're still friends). I think the problem was similar to what you said.... I think we didn't spend enough quality time with each other.... We were living in different cities due to our circumstances, and there were other difficult "external" situations we were dealing with too. However, despite the difficulties, I was always optimistic.... Overall, I feel it's quite sad, and I wish it didn't end....

However, I also tend to be perhaps a bit too achievement-oriented.... You've made me rethink this.... Like you did, I also tend to think that I'm doing it all "for us." But you're right -- I'm probably really doing it for me, and I should stop fooling myself....

I feel your advice -- about both physical activities and family and your loved one -- is very important.... Well, I feel it has helped me to have some insights too. Thank you for sharing that with us....

My life is not completely balanced at the moment. I think where I'm not very balanced is I'm not doing enough exercise right now, and I was looking for some inspiration -- which I got, thanks. :) And, I'm not in another relationship yet (I'm still getting over the old one), but when that comes around again I'll keep your advice in mind and be sure to keep some special time just for her....
