Don’t let your downfall be people pointing out who you use to be in the past. Do not let them cage you in a box. You are multifaceted, you are changing. Different people get different versions of you and every single one is valid. You don’t need to stick to who you use to be.
Self doubt is part of life.
Every person, even the people you admire most doubt themselves.
The secret is to do it anyway and to not expect to be fully confident when trying anything new.
"The heaviest weight at the gym is the front door."
You don't need motivation.
You need discipline.
Discipline is showing up when you'd rather stay home.
Those are the days you grow the most as a person.
It's not just about building muscle.
It's about becoming relentless.
Imagine how different the world would be if we grew up learning to value curiosity over conformity, mindfulness over productivity, and empathy over judgement.
I highly suggest everyone spend a lot of time with themselves. Go out to eat. Go to the movies. Go on a cruise. Go hiking. Go to the spa. Travel to another city just to sight see. Explore the world and stop waiting on people to be available and willing to experience it with you.
Stick to the plan. You knew it wouldn’t be easy. Elevation requires focus, hustle, and sacrifice. The higher you climb, the thinner the air. But when it's your time to take flight, you'll be proud of yourself for staying the course.
