So on Monday of this week I was driving to work and my first thought was today would be a great day to be on top of Crowder's Mountain....I just don't have time today... but if I could just get there without having to climb it? Can that just happen? Can you put me at the top so I can enjoy the view? Those were the thoughts that came to my mind.
Since that day the rest of my week has been AWFUL! Well tonight I started thinking about being on the top of Crowder's Mountain again. I started thinking about how it is a lot of work to get to the top but man the view once you get there is AMAZING!!! If you have ever been there you know what I am talking about. Well you wonder what this has to do with my fitness journey? It is the exact same.
This week I have had some major obstacles and mental obstacles as well..... I almost wanted to give up my fight.....I felt to tired to fight for anything or anyone. I felt like Lemony Snickets with the whole series of unfortunate events. Well I decided that I am a born fighter....my whole life I have been fighting.... fighting to be strong, fighting to be a success in life, against all the odds so far I have made it to the top of several of the mountains that have been placed in my life. Every time I make it to the top I do see the wonderful beauty in the struggle it took to get there.
What I am saying to you tonight is no matter what happens in your life, struggles make you stronger! So anytime you feel like giving up or throwing in the towel, you pick that towel up, wipe the sweat off and keep pushing until reach the top! Once you get there you will look back and say man I never thought I would make it this far!
No matter how long it takes you, each step forward is a step in the right direction!
