“There is no such thing as work-life balance - it is all life. The balance has to be within you.” -Sadhguru
The word “infinity” comes from the Latin word “infinitas” which means “unboundedness,” having no limits and ends. This resonates with me when thinking about my connection to fitness as a journey. I believe there are no limits or end to the path of health and wellness. The infinity symbol, often used in mathematics, represents and infinity loop and the number 8 on its side.
While creating this program I did research on 888 and learned that it is an “angel number.” Angel numbers are a series of repeating numbers that you come across in everyday life. It is said that they represent angels communicating with you and bring you good fortune. Being a Las Vegas based business numbers bringing good fortune is a concept we enjoy!
Angel number 888 is symbolic of balance, change, financial abundance, reaping the fruits of your efforts, positivity in your life and inspiration for achieving goals. It’s a sign you are on a true path to discovery and your foundations have been laid to build the house of your dreams.
In my mind, this is similar to fitness and wellness. A solid foundation allows for you to become stronger, like a foundation allows for a home to have walls and a roof that are tough enough to endure the test of time. The end product is a strong body and mind.
