There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth... it is you!" Author Unknown
Everyone at some point in time is "working" on something; being a better parent, spouse, friend ..., losing weight/gaining weight, setting a PB in whatever sport it is you part take in. You get the picture. Many of us will abandon these "works in progress" for many reasons (or excuses as the case may be); too tired, too hungry, too sore (insert appendage name here), going on vacation, not going on vacation, etc. Why do we give up? Why do we set unrealistic expectations only to have ourselves dash them at a moments notice. And then, even when we do fall off whatever wagon we are riding at the time, why don't we just pick ourselves and continue on the journey rather than doling out the punishment of having to return to the start line?
This is life, not a game of Monopoly; we don' have to pass GO everytime in order to gain something.
So as I embark on my own personal challenge over the next couple of weeks, I am dedicated to my own success. That being said, I am not going to toss all the gains I make a the first slip (if there is one). I will just pick myself up and continue on. Because after all I am only human, and none of us is perfect (no matter how hard we try to be or our mothers tell us we are).
