I started out this year withdrawn and spent nearly all of my time alone. I had built a prison for myself shrouded with negative thoughts and a hermit-like lifestyle. It was by far the lowest point of my life. I was aware that I needed a change but the sheer thought of working toward something was crippling. I made excuses when I could and deferred to a safe zone at every opportunity. But one day as I was lying on the couch, reflecting over the lack of existence I had fallen into over the previous months. I suddenly & inexplicably realized that what I wanted out of life (no matter how insane it seemed) was attainable. Failure became impossible. I began, at that moment to fashion a list of goals for the year. The list was/is comprised of huge life changing goals and fears that I thought were out of my reach and unbeatable. This past weekend I marked my 10th item off the list, compete in a fitness competition. Keep your passion alive. Fear will try to hold you back. It will crush you with doubt. Know with all of your heart that you can reach the finish line. And be ready because once youre there, the journey will only THEN begin.
