Every setback, challenge or difficulty forces us to grow as individuals and to step up the effort to what is needed to overcome what has come our way.
We should always be on the lookout to learn, to grow, to adapt, improve and become more because in our workouts NOTHING stays the same-we are usually finding them harder over time (because we aren’t showing up enough and not being consistent) or their initial difficulty becomes easier because we keep showing up and we adapt and overcome them because we are often in the gym and we often give our best.
If I set too low a bar for you, any type of small effort will be too easy to overcome it, if I set too high a bar and you may get discouraged, the bar we set is high enough to improve on the last workout, and therefore take us forward in all areas of our lives.
We never compare ourselves to anyone next to us, what we do compare ourselves to is OURSELVES, US, YOU, ME whatever you want to call yourself. How we are doing is nobody else’s business apart from us. Of course we can use the help of others at the gym, you can always use my help and we can use that inspiration and guidance for us to become more as individuals full stop.
It’s always about how far we have come, how far we have travelled since first starting and how much that has positively impacted our lives.
Setbacks will always come and go, but so will good times, feeling great and the sense of accomplishment that we are putting health at the top of our lists, which only enhances every area of our lives in a massively positive way.
