You're Stronger Than You Think

Our bodies are incredible machines. We're built strong, sturdy and tough. A body rarely gives out, before your mind does.
Think about our ancestors. They worked all day, every day - walking miles to hunt, lifting and carrying materials to build shelter, hauling water back to camp, etc. They didn't have coffee, Red Bull, cookies or NoExplode... they had grit! They kept going because if they didn't, they'd die. 
Our bodies are built the same as our ancestors. Our genes are coded for activity. Of course, we don't need to run out for the kill anymore and luckily, fresh water is always a few steps away. However, we can take some lessons from our ancestors' routine - walk everyday, challenge your mind by building or creating, lift weights and lay off the fake energizers.
We're naturally strong, don't let your mind tell you otherwise.
