You've just
woken up and are about to roll out of bed when you realize that your body is
still worn out from those extra 30 squats or the additional mile you ran yesterday.
You know a long day waits ahead of you but you get up anyways because you
secretly love the soreness in your muscles that comes along with a good
workout. That soreness is good. In fact it’s great; it means your hard work is
paying off and now you are one step closer to achieving the body you want.
Lately I've started exercising more
frequently and when I'm in a time crunch, I'll usually work out to one of Cassey
Ho's YouTube videos (link). A few days ago while doing an
intense arm workout, Cassey mentioned that feeling a burn was kind of like
feeling a fire inside of you. Instantly my attention had focused in on that small
yet charged word: fire.
Fire possesses power and excitement. It breathes heat
and intensity. It's a combustion of highlighter yellow, blood orange, and fire
truck red.
So the next time you think of taking
a day off, remember the fire inside. Don't think of that feeling as simply a
burn, know that it is a powerful, determined flame, inside of you, that can help you accomplish
anything. I hope this idea will keep you going more than you thought was
possible. You are stronger than you think. Keep pushing and keep working. With
that fire, you are
unstoppable.
