This morning I stood in front of the mirror criticizing my perceived flaws. As I realized what I was doing I stepped back and thought “hold on now, lets take a look at what we really have here”.
I have a healthy body that allows me to trash it working out 5-6 days a week. It doesn’t give up, it doesn’t quit. It just keeps responding to the physical challenges I dish out everyday.
Did I get there overnight? Absolutely not.
What’s even more important than what I see staring back at me in the mirror is what I’ve built up on the inside.
My mind, confidence, willingness to succeed, discipline and consistent dedication to living a healthy lifestyle. Being able to stop myself from comparing my physique to that of another is invaluable. I am me for a reason. Why would I change that?
You want instant gratification? Get yourself moving. There is nothing more gratifying than taking that 30 or so minutes a day to work on your goal of getting fit.
Want more instant gratification? There is a tremendous feeling of empowerment that comes from making healthy food choices every day.
Need more instant gratification? Stop comparing yourself to other people and focus on becoming the very best you that you can become.
Sooner or later your instant gratification vault will be running over with results.
