We all have a Rocky story inside of us. Some are more public than others. Some are giant accomplishments. Some have a hint of danger, and some are just for fun. But all of them are very personal. Setting out on our own, overcoming obstacles, navigating uncharted waters, overcoming fear and growing into the person we want to be, is the goal.
How much fun is it when you can look back and smile because you know all the hard work paid off. The pain, the fear and the obstacles are a thing of the past. Not that I accomplished anything noteworthy in this process yet, but unless I read about a tough workout I had in my notes, I have no idea how tough it WAS. My body lived through it, my mind lived through it, but I have no memory of the discomfort. This gives encouragement to keep going knowing the pain is temporary.
I have mini goals along the way. Not all of them ‘Yo Adrian’esque, but they are ‘yo tom’ish.
Yo Tom! From Germany….
Can’t wait to hear about your awesome workouts when I get back!
Guten Tag Fawn! Thanks for checking in from across the pond. Can you hear the Rocky training montage music in your head?
Yo Tom! I love that scene! It always brings a tear to my eye. I like the concept of everyone having their own Rocky story. Wish you the best in fulfilling yours.
Yo Cindy! I have to admit it, me too. Thanks for the comment and the wishes. It’s going to be fun, if nothing else…..
