No Pain No Gain!


Today I was at the gym doing my workout and I was in the middle of a set. I was on my fifth repetition and I became tired, I could have just ended that set with 5 reps but I pushed myself to get 10. After I finished I was happy that I finished the full set and didn't give up in the middle just because I was a little winded. This is just one example, but I know that everyone has day's when they just want to give up on something and half-ass it. Fight through the struggle and it will be rewarding once you have finished. You will endure pain, but you will be thankful you did it!

A Challenge!


Things can be difficult, and I know it can be frustrating when you try to accomplish something and you can't the first time you do it. If we could always conquer something on the first try then it wouldn't have any challenge to it and the fun would be taken out of it. If there is something that you want to accomplish and it is difficult, then challenge yourself to keep getting better at it each time you try. Of course there will be times that you want to give up, but what makes us stronger and better at something is overcoming the challenges and pushing ourselves till we get it right. Always believe in your abilities, it might take some time for them to truly be shown, but they are there and you are the one that can make them shine.

Never give up!

Today is Sunday which means, "football." There have been some great games on today, but the best one that I saw was the Giants vs the Chargers. New York pretty much had control in the game. Phillip Rivers the quarterback of San Diego had two interceptions in the game and one was at the end when they were behind a touchdown. The Chargers ended up stopping the Giants that next drive and Phillip Rivers got a chance for redemption. They got the ball with 2:03 left in the game and Rivers drove his team down the field and completed an 18 yard touchdown with seconds left in the game. San Diego won the game 21 to 20. After the interception he could have gave up, but he believed in himself and his team and they ended up getting the victory.
There are going to be times in life when you make mistakes. Do not get down on yourself, keep your head up and believe in your abilities.
