I got myself where a past version of me wanted to be and when I got there I found a new version of me I wanted to strive for and after that I realized there was more

When we pursue our goals, thinking big picture can help to make the small steps seem less scary and when we achieve every small step, even if it takes years, it boosts our confidence and belief that we can pursue even more

It’s somewhat hard for me to put this in words but I think the sentiment is clear that it is worth celebrating where you are if a past version of you was working so hard to get here and then use that momentum to continue to improve

I was thinking in the gym today how I’ve been going at this for so long and it’s a lot on my body day in and day out and I’ve had many mental demands to push through, overcome, and face

It’s all been worth it because I have continued to improve in so many areas of my life even through big storms and challenges

If giving up on a dream ever crosses your mind because of comparison, doubt, or the time it’s taking, really make sure you evaluate if you still love the pursuit before quitting on the dream because if the pursuit is adding to your life and your character, it’s worth it to keep going so you never wonder what would have happened if….💖
