Cool thing about having strongman equipment at home, is that even if I don't feel like going to the gym, I have absolutely no excuse not to lift weight in some capacity.
If you aren't "feeling it" today - get in there and do one set. Walk on the treadmill for 5 minutes. Now do you want to quit and go home? Hell no! Now get in there and do the fuckin' work.

It's time to cancel that monthly gym membership and invest in a lifetime home gym.
The easiest way to make sure you never miss a day is to bring the gym home. Imagine walking a few steps away to your own gym, with good quality equipment that you take care of. Your music, your style, your home gym space is a reflection of you and what you put into it. "OH but I don't have space.." Arnold used to travel with his weights in his car so he could workout in between workouts. Strapped for cash? Start small, buy used! 90% of my equipment came from out of business gyms and lazy people on the internet. You can still find plates for $1 a pound if you're willing to wire wheel the rust off and give them new life.
As it is now, I've got about $1800 invested in equipment alone in about a years time. That's only $150 a month if you do it right. Make it a priority, make it happen.

On good days, work out.
On bad days, work out even harder.
On bad days, work out even harder.

I spent years searching for purpose and meaning. If you have religious faith then this purpose, in the context of metaphysics, is spelt out. I felt I needed more than that: purpose or meaning to be found in the world now, purpose in the material, everyday world.
I read countless philosophical works. Stoicism outlined the purpose of life as 'living in accordance with ones nature'. The stoics said that the nature of man was 'reason' and so the purpose of life is to reason.
This was the starting point.
I disagree with the stoics. The nature of man is to exercise one's will. Therefore the purpose of life is to express the will.
This relates to the Nietzschean Superman, specifically the concept of 'self overcoming'.
After this realization I began the application. To exercise will.
This means that I focus on the act and not the result.
As an example, if you have severe depression then do a single pushup each day. Just the one. If you eat too much then don't eat a snack. Just the one. Read a single page of a book. This is the expression of will overcoming the emotions and conditioning. You are not looking for results. The meaning is in the act itself.
Forget about goals. Set yourself small acts. Completing the act is the result in itself.
The acts depend on where you're at emotionally and your circumstances.
Perform a single act of will, a single act of self overcoming every day. It doesn't matter what that act is. It doesn't matter how small or insignificant the act seems.
The purpose is to act. To overcome. I can't emphasise enough the life-changing consequences of using this.
This will give you purpose.

If weakness is the disease, the farmerβs walk will cure it. It will build muscle, slash fat, and crank up performance.
Everyone wants the newest, coolest exercise, but that tends to take them away from hard work, temporary pain, sweat, and calluses. What they really need to do is get back to basics.
The key to success in the farmerβs walk is not in the walking, but how you walk with the weight, tall spine, and strong core.
The farmerβs walk trains your body in a way thatβs useful even beyond the gym. You canβt underestimate the importance of grip strength and the ability to lift and carry heavy objects for health or in everyday life. The farmerβs walk might be the most functional exercise in existence.
Done right, a farmerβs walk can make you a hell of a lot of bigger, stronger, and leaner. Donβt underestimate the impact of this brutal but basic exercise.

Strength matters because the only other choice is to embrace weakness.
