Workout: Advance Regardless

You have to find what is good and strong and extraordinary about yourself and hold that knowledge close. When it gets difficult, you gotta know that about yourself. You gotta give yourself credit. You gotta look inside and know your values and know your heart, know your soul. Because it will be hard. There will be struggle. There will be sad days. And you need that to hold onto. When they doubt you, they make fun of you. The project fails, the thing doesn't work out, hold on to that. Hold on to that thing inside that was given to you by God. That thing inside that was luck, generous or blessing. That thing within you that knows that you can, that you will. That thing inside that has greater trust than the circumstances. Hold on to that. Cultivate it. Think about it. Reflect on that when it gets difficult, because it will. There will be a time when the world needs you to be courageous. When your friends and family count on you, when your dreams are on the line, when giving up won't make sense anymore, when the power of love begs to break through. That time is now. We always think, oh, someday I'll be needed. You are needed now. Someday I'll make my difference. Make it today. Someday I'll start that new habit, that new dream. No, that is today. Someday I'll get healthy. Someday I'll feel good about life. Someday I'll be happier, kinder, more awesome. That day must be today. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. The future will either be the same as today or it will be different. Because today you change it. This is the day, and this is the time. And this waiting for someday is no longer gonna be something that works for you. Today is the put everything, all of it, all of you, absolutely everything, into life. You know, you can just exist and survive or you can etch a fiery streak of life across the the sky. You know, there's a greater pulse in you, a brilliant charge, and it's readying itself and it is saying, live, my friend, live. And you feel that impulse sometimes midweek you wake up and you think, gosh, I just want. I want. I want to break out. I want to do something significant. I want to go take an adventure, or I want to try something new. Or what if I. There's something in you that's always kind of scratching at the surface and saying, hey, live a little more. Like. Like unleash. Open up. Like go. Like. Like that's in each of us. But it requires us to show up and put more of ourselves into each and every day. Every day. All greatness teeters on whether a would be hero overcomes the Terror within and advances regardless. Look, you're gonna be scared. You're gonna have big ideas, big dreams, big hopes, big, big plans you're going to go for. You're going to swing for the fences. But listen, whether or not you become the hero of your own story is whether or not you can face that terror within and advance regardless. So evaluate yourself. Did you go regardless or did you slow down because you were scared? Because that pattern is going to carry unless you change. Your day is coming, your time is near. Your dreams are closer than you know. One day at a time, my friend. I know it's easy to get discouraged, to focus on the negative, to compare yourself to other people, to feel like you're doing all these things that it's not turning out just yet. So you gotta have that mentality. Your day is coming, your time is near. Your dreams are closer than you know. When you have a bad day, keep hope. When you feel like you took a step backwards, realize one day at time that no matter what is happening in your life, the fact that you woke up, that you had this breath, that you have the intention to move forward. That alone is moving you forward. Keep perspective. Next week gonna be better. Next month gonna be better. Those dreams, they're coming your way. Keep working towards them. Keep faith, my friends. Keep hope. One day at a time. I frat a time. Today I frat a time at a time.
