My thought trends the last few weeks have been less than ideal. I have found myself thinking a lot about my abilities and whether or not I am really able to pursue my goals. I have found myself thinking that, "if you are not good enough to succeed, then why should you even try?"
Here is a quote from my daily reading.
"Defeatism won't get you anywhere (except defeat)."
**Side note, if you guys don't have a daily reader of some sort, you should get one. It is one thing that I never thought I would be interested in, but now that I do it, can't imagine not doing it.**
It may be surprising to my friends, who know me as such a positive person, but believe me, I have doubts.
This year has been the most challenging one I've had since I started CrossFit. It seems like everything I have been doing has amounted to nothing. Intellectually, I know that is not the case. But emotionally, I have been extremely discouraged. It makes it hard to get up every day and show up the to gym when you feel like you are making NO progress.
But I also KNOW that if I don't show up and put in the work, then nothing will change.
There was a great quote from a podcast I heard recently that sums this up:
"Just like in sports, if 2019 is going great or terrible, the final score is determined in the second half. Quit letting a slow start distract you from finishing strong." --Jake Thompson
That is what I plan on doing . . . finishing strong.
