You walk down the beach and gaze far into the horizon with your head held high and your t-shirt off. A group of ladies in their polka-dot-bikinis walk by and wave at you. You reply by sending a smile their way and they giggle as they continue walking.

 

You find a place to sit, lay back and smile. This is the reason you love the beach.

But what if you hated the beach? No, not because it’s dirty or there isn’t any eye candy to look at. It’s the thought of taking your shirt off that intimidates you. You will never consider doing it in a place where people boast decent physiques because removing your shirt will reveal the 10 hot dogs you had for dinner.

You hate the beach because you hate the way you look and the beach simply exposes it.

There are parts of us we wish we could change. I’m not saying that not looking good makes you a bad person. I’m saying that if not looking good makes you feel like shit, then that’s bad.

However, the great news is that you have the power to change that.

 

 

We can change any of the circumstances we are currently facing. We’ve heard stories of Olympians breaking their legs while running that final leg of the race and of a 101 year old man completing marathon upon marathon.

 

These stories of greatness have been told time and time again. What’s keeping us from having our “story of greatness” told? 

 

An old man should not be running extreme distances and an athlete with a broken leg should rest. The crowd of mediocrity is yelling at them to stop, to take a break, not to attempt anything risky, to stay comfortable where they are, and to rest.

What did they do in response? The exact opposite of what was being said.

 

Did they accomplish those great feats because they needed to? No!

They did it because it made them feel great. It gave them the power to change their circumstances in ways others thought was impossible. It added that little zest into their life that made them feel that their life was worth living.

Sometimes it’s these little things that keep us moving.

If you can’t get a decent gym to train during a long holiday, do some bodyweight movements in a circuit fashion.

You can’t find a nutritious meal to eat? Make the best choice out of every meal.

You’re working on a huge project and can’t spend much time with your family? Don’t forget to call back.

You want to start reading but can’t find the time? Do it 5 minutes before bed time.

Focus on the little things, because these little things will be that dim light that keeps us moving when everything around us is dark.

It’s these little things that help us keep moving.

 

It doesn’t matter how small your steps are, what matters is that you keep on moving <—- Click To Tweet!!
