Another cold night in the icebox (aka the house) followed by another morning at the gym. Below are some words I came across and they really struck a chord. Enjoy!
Now is the time
Whatever happened on the previous attempt doesn't matter anymore. What matters is what you do now.
Though you may have failed once, or numerous times, or a thousand times, that has no bearing on what you're able to do now. In fact, each failed attempt brings you closer to success.
By discovering what does not work, you have more information to help you know what does work. The more you have invested in the goal, the more motivated you are to make it succeed.
Effort is never wasted, even when it leads to disappointing results. For it always makes you stronger, more capable and more experienced.
Now is the time to make use of all that strength and experience. Now is the time to push forward with more commitment and effectiveness than ever before.
Take great satisfaction in where you have been and in how far you have come. Now is your opportunity to make it into real and lasting success. (Ralph Marston)
Have a good weekend everyone and if anyone is racing, enjoy, and here's to PBs all round!
