There are points in your exercise programme when you wonder if you will be able to do the most difficult exercise, the most difficult workout, to be able to eat well at least 80% of the time, to avoid falling in the traps you USED to fall in. What really makes this time different?
This is exactly the time you encounter your most difficult opponent, and that is yourself.
The toughest of times brings this question comes up-Will you discover your deepest weakness or will you seek out your innermost strength when you need it most?
You have to realise that everyone encounters difficulty, the feeling sometimes as if you are running against a brick wall-EVERYONE has from time to time. What should make you different though is the ability to KEEP on trying and get through that wall eventually.
This is the exact time that if you keep on going, then you will be strides ahead of where you would have been had you quit. These are the defining moments of success and progress.
You will find that it’s not difficult just running as one of the crowd, just keeping up, just doing enough to get by. It’s not about hitting the wall or not, it’s about what you do AFTER you hit that wall that makes your development so special.
The ability to do the extra after initially wanting to quit makes you different and separates you from most people. Don’t wish it was easier all the time, just work on getting a little better each time and that extra effort will mount up.
Hitting the wall is a familiar saying now, but the ability to scale that wall will distance you from your old self, and will make you more powerful, positive, develop whole new levels of self-belief, self-confidence, and take you onto a completely new level of development and success.
