Today I woke up feeling a little less stiff than yesterday. I’m glad I was able to loosen things up last night in class and get a little stretching in.
I woke up thinking about what would motivate me today, and I recalled a quote from Henry Ford and I attached it to this post. The mind is an extremely powerful tool. We can overcome fears of failure, take the most courageous steps, and accomplish things that we never dreamed possible. We can also give up and allow self-doubt to limit us. I think sometimes we take for granted just how impactful our personal choices are. We get to make choices every day. We cannot change any of our past choices, so all we have is to accept those consequences, learn from them and use that wisdom for future choices. Choose wisely.
The other major motivator for me today relates to one of our students at the school. I had a conversation with one student last night about perseverance. Although the current set back he encountered was difficult for him, after our conversation, there was a near immediate choice to not let that affect his training and preparation. It was a very proud moment for me seeing him respond so well and for his awesome attitude the rest of the night. Today’s workout is dedicated to him.
