Motivation

Motivation is one of the main keys to being successful fitness wise. You need to have a passion and desire to keep moving forward. My motivation comes from where I've been and seeing where I am going knowing that every day is a new day, learn from yesterday, and prepare for tomorrow. You can't get in the routine mode! When you start getting to routine you lose sight of why you want to achieve your goal. Keep everything new and fresh while maintaining your building blocks. Once you have a solid foundation its time to step outside of your comfort zone and push yourself to a new level.

Don't stay somewhere because of comfort because when you become comfortable with bad settings you become afraid of good setting. You need to stay focused on what you as a person are capable of doing and not be fearful of the hard work. "Nothing of value comes without being earned". Be content with where you are, look to where you want to go, observe what you need to do to get there, and follow through with action.

It doesn't matter where your starting point is, you could already be in really good shape or you could be eating poorly and skipped out on fitness for the last 5 years. All that matters is that you take that first step, set your eyes on whats to come, prepare for tomorrow, and follow the path that leads you to where you want to be. Most people take the first step and follow the path they want for a while but eventually get off track. This is because they forget the roots of their motivation. This is why you need to have your motivation written down stated positively that you keep in mind.

For example my motivation is to keep moving forward. As I have talked about, my goal is to take each day and move another step forward, maybe a couple steps forward if I can!!! How do you walk a million miles? You have to take the first step and keep taking more steps. It's the same with fitness as it is in anything you want to accomplish in your life. You have to constantly improve, learn, grow, and use the time your given for all it's worth.

Don't fear failure, failure should be used as a source of motivation. When you get knocked down you need to get back up and catch back up. This means you should accept it and realize you need to try harder and use it as motivation. Never give up, never give in, use your trials to come out twice as strong as you where before that trial came into your course. The strength you gain from pushing through the storm will give you a stronger drive when you get out of that storm and into the clear weather!
