This quote is well known. I know its lesson is true, but I still struggle daily to turn off the negative self talk and pessimistic outlook.
Pain is not my enemy; it is my call to greatness.
Muscle mass does not always equal strength. Strength is kindness and sensitivity. Strength is understanding that your power is both physical and emotional. That it comes from the body and the mind. And the heart.
Keep moving forward.
Keep pushing.
Keep growing.
Never look back.
I have been struggling a bit lately with the why of things. I know I can, but I don’t always choose to make the right decision. A year ago this picture speaks to the choice I always made, “I will, because I can. There is no other option.” I need to get back to that place.
I need to remind myself of this.
A-Z rules to live a more fulfilling life.
I love to go running. It’s a way for me to stay centered, to lose the stress of the world around me, and to just be present. I recommend it to everyone, especially if you’re looking for a way to find peace and focus in your life.
