Motivational Sunday to get you started for a new week. Yes, a brand new week. I don't care if last week sucked major balls. This week will be better. I promise :)
When I saw this picture it kind of hit hard. I find myself on occasion getting wrapped up in some of my goals and the need for them to be accomplished right now. The funny thing with life is right now doesn't always happen, which can leave you disappointed. STOP! Stop wishing it all to happen this very second. The world is so reliant on instant gratification, that when something doesn't happen right away they just quit. They leave it for the birds and move along to the next fad or next pain in the ass thing that will leave them disappointed again.
Whether its working out, eating right, or just getting something accomplished, take your time. Make sure you are doing it the right way and not just the quick way. Enjoy every minute of the process. 1. You will feel more proud of yourself for sticking with it. 2. Hard work really does pay off in so many ways that I can't begin to explain here. 3. It's your life. Who in the world are you trying to compare yourself to? Last time I checked, no 2 people are alike, so stop comparing! Stop racing to get to some destination. What the heck happens then??? You just stop? Um, negative ghost rider. This is a lifestyle. If you try to crank it all out at once what the heck is there to look forward to?
The point is, as the picture explains, to upgrade you. Be a better version of yourself. So many of us want to and end up stooping to the level of those that hate us or are jealous of us. I'm guilty. I will not sit here and say I am a bigger person in all situations. I'm human and some things in this world just really piss me off and I lose my sh*t over it. It happens, but it's something I'm working on, as should everyone else. Being the nicer side of the fight will make you feel better. It's not always the easiest side of the fight, but that's why it makes you better. It builds your character to stand up tall and stick up for yourself in a way that is honorable.
So this week, I want everyone to do me a favor, something I don't ask for often, but be nice to someone who may not be nice to you. The next time someone says something hateful, just say thank you and move along. Also, do something that will better you. Make a goal this week that you know will make you feel better about yourself that doesn't require the acceptance or reassurance from someone else. Build your back bone and your self esteem a little bit and stand up tall. You will smile a lot bigger and more often the more you work towards this goal. And no, it doesn't have to be fitness related. I know this is called my fitness journey, but your mind and soul also plays a very important role for pushing your body to its limit. And for all that is fit and holy, don't forget to breathe. Breathe and smile every day at least twice a day and you will notice a difference in yourself :)
