Pushing Yourself

Lots of things in life require quite a bit of work.  Staying fit, managing your money well, providing for your family, fulfilling dreams, making it through college, getting up every morning and heading to work. All these things can drain us and sometimes bring us to our knees.

But there is a reward. I frequently go through different weight lifting techniques and exercises to change up what’s happening to my muscles.  This usually is painful.  I am in the midst of a 12 week program right now that just incorporates different workouts with different weight amounts each week. My arms are aching today.

But in a good way, Because I know that with that pain I will see results.  I know that the amount I lifted today was far more than just two weeks ago.  It sucks on one hand.  There are a lot of days I get home from work and the gym is the last place I want to go, but I do it.  It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

If you have a dream, a passion, and want to get somewhere, keep working at it. You might not get there in a week, a month, a year, or even five, but keep working towards it.  It will pay off.
