There's No Secret

"What's the secret?"

I asked this question to one of my clients today. He was 85 years old, looked 60, and was as fit and agile as a 50-year-old.

He replied: "There's no secret. I enjoy walking. That’s all."

No secrets. No tricks. Completely natural.

But that's often how it is, isn’t it; we think there's a code to crack, a secret recipe to follow to achieve success. When in reality, the answer lies in the most natural thing in the world.

If we want to increase our chances of being in good shape, then we need to make sure we move around a bit. If we want to become a better writer, then we need to make sure we write a lot.

There's no secret.
