Do It Especially When You Don’t Want To

 I need to establish a schedule that I can try to complete and sustain some sort of routine. I met someone who has a commitment to excellence especially when they don’t want to do it. This person was disciplined. I was showed examples of when he did not want to go and work out, and with a bit of a sigh he said I guess I will still go anyways.

 Having the mental fortitude to stay consistent on days you would rather do nothing is powerful. It is a muscle that needs working out as well. He has a busy life and he still manages to strive for excellence. 

 I believe it all comes down to his priorities. He has going to the gym high up on his list and will try and achieve it with the best of his situation. Prioritizing health and fitness over going home and simply lazing about. Being lazy is easy, but being highly engaged in your life and family is extraordinary.

 I thought about how I saw him and how his life seems pretty awesome. I had to hold myself back from starting a pity party for myself. He works hard for what he has and it is something to admire and learn from, not resent and bring in jealousy. 

 I will use my experience with him to help build me to become a better person. I have met a lot of amazing people in my life and for the short amount of time I met this man has changed my way of thinking. I saw a someone who did not settle for the easy route, but also it was not easy for him to pursue the extraordinary path. 

  Normally when I see people like him they are always high energy, or very positive for most of the time and they make it look easy to achieve what they have. I know these type of people work just as hard, but I rarely get to see the struggle. I normally get to see the surface of who they are then they disappear from my life.

I got the rarest of opportunities to see the mindset of I don’t want to go the gym at all, and then they went anyways. I have heard stories and have done it myself, but it has been a long time since an event like this has happened. 

 My kung fu engagement was low this week. I did do some gym stuff, but I was still lacking in kung fu. I have had some bumps in the road and family issue to take care of, but bumps in the road will always show. I just need to keep recovering from the bumps.
