Last night I said I was going to swing before I ate. That didn't happen but I frickin blew through last night's time. Switched up the music and pushed my body to move when it didn't want to. This whole working out, lifting, swinging, whatever, it's so much more of a mental game than people want to tell you. It's easy to tell someone that they have to have discipline. But how about you tell them that means having to yell at themselves to get off their lazy ass and push the weight? People need to be told the truth that it doesn't matter if they have 100 people blowing smoke up their ass and patting them on the back because if they don't hold themselves accountable no changes they make are going to last. People need to be told that it's not always sunshine and rainbows when you're trying to be fit. Somedays, a lot of days suck ass; you're going to physically hurt and mentally you're going to wonder just why in the actual hell you're doing this. You know why you're doing all this? You're doing it to be better. You're pushing yourself to strive not for mediocrity but for greatness. And because you're an imperfect little human, you're going to have to fight with yourself more often than not to keep going. When others are shaking their heads, calling you crazy, and arrogant, and full of yourself, you'll remember all those arguments you've had in your mind, and all those pep talks with your brain and you'll smile. It's that moment when you realize how far you've come. You'll finally understand what discipline means and what it means to move past mediocrity.
