Simple As That

Over the last year or so I have met some incredible people. Some at the peak of their fitness, some just starting, and other in between (like me). There are always individuals that say they want to get fit or that say they will help you get fit or others that ask you for whatever help you can give them. I think this is a beautiful thing as we can utilize each other for motivation and it's a great way to network. However, I have learned time and time again that you cannot place your goals in the hands of anyone else. You cannot put your drive or motivation in the hands of another. You surely cannot depend on anyone to stick with you for the lifelong haul. All of that has to remain with you as you are THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS TO DO THE WORK!!! No one else! Sure there are others that will motivate, cheer you on, and give you pointers along the way. However, when those people are not around (and the reasons will vary) you have to be able to go it alone, with the same drive and determination. You have to continuously be your own motivation and never allow the lack of action of others to impact your WORK. Simple as that!!!
