Sometimes we have to look back in order to see how far we’ve come. It might not yet be perfect, satisfying, gratifying, but if where you are is even a step further than where you were, then my dear, you have already gone far. +
Fitness is not just motivation and dedication, but mostly persistence. There will be days you will hate it, days you lack energy, days that circumstances are not in your favor, but it is in the persistence toward achieving your goal that you find strength to push forward. +
Whether you are looking back because you are reflecting on where you are now or to celebrate your results (small as they may be) do it with pride while being humble, with tears but not of sorrow and do it with love but not satisfaction...for when you fool yourself into feeling satisfied you fool yourself into believing it’s done....and in this journey you are never done! There is always tomorrow to challenge you to be better than you were today and that, if you ask me, is one of the beauties of life...the chance to change, to reinvent, to challenge, to become stronger, better...the goal is never perfection, but self acceptance, self love and respect!
