Training has a specific objective, a goal, a purpose. You can easily recognize the difference between people at the gym who are just there to exercise and those who are training for something. They are not there just to get tough–though that is part of the training. They are there to do very specific exercises to strengthen specific parts of their bodies so that they can compete in a specific event. Training is done with an end in mind. I’ll ask you this question: “What are you training for?” If the storms of life blow you off track, you may be tough enough to get back up, but, if you are untrained, you’ll be getting up to start over wherever you landed. You didn’t really get blown off track because you were not really on a track in the first place. However, if you are training your life with a specific goal in mind, you will not only be tough enough to get back up, you will also know how to get back on track because you were headed in a specific direction. You will be able to get your bearings and figure out what you need to do to start your life back in the direction you were headed. Have a plan for your life and be training for it! Don’t settle for just hoping to be tough enough to survive whatever come your way. You see, life requires that you be tough. Be tough and trained, rather than tough and untrained
