How Badly Do You Want It?

You can't get anything for free. You have to work hard for it. Hard is a relative term- how do you define "hard"? Hard is when you are not looking forward to something because it puts you in a position of discomfort. It is uncomfortable because it hurts. And, when it hurts, your body gets stronger- it learns to push through the hurt until it (not you) decides it is enough. This pain is not free. It comes with the price- the effort for you to put forth to exceed and get stronger. To feel better. To look better. It is not going to be easy. In fact, there will be days that you will stop before you start and say, "why am I doing this?". It is at this moment that you remember a workout that you have done in the past that made you feel like a million bucks. You got done with the effort and thought, "damn I am strong." Take yourself back to that moment and find your inner strength to try it again. You won't fail. What is the worst that can happen? You get tired and have to stop? Don't fear pain. Don't fear hurt. Don't fear effort. You can do it. How badly do you want it?

Now, get working. It is a New Year...
