**A BIT OF MOTIVATION **

Once again, it's time to play the discipline game. I went to bed so excited to go to the gym again after a whole week off, but I'm just not feeling it yet this morning.

Results require actions though. Gonna spike my insulin here for the pep and go lift some heavy stuff.

Discipline truly is a consistent CHOICE: to do what needs to be done regardless what the motivation is doing. If I relied on motivation alone, there'd be days where nothing gets done.

In order to achieve goals, we need to put in the effort without wavering. "No pain, no gain" is a true statement.

Effort produces results.

Compromise creates delay.

Decisions that are geared towards our goals are the only choices we should make.

I want it. Time to go get it. It's not gonna happen overnight, but every day, each tiny step is one in the right direction. No slip-ups. Just pressing forward with the goal constantly in mind.

It seems distant and impossible sometimes, but I've stopped looking at the present. I'm seeing the past pictures and measurements of where I came from to see how I've changed so far.

Remember that the present is gone the moment you think about it. Time to live in the future!

And once the adrenaline rush of motivation wears off, discipline will carry you through if  you CHOOSE to apply it!
