We Chose This Path…Enjoy It
Episode #740
January 9, 2024
What happens when you don’t want to do something? Two choices. Bag it, or do it anyway. And when we DO do it, it builds strength, consistency, and the “talent” to break through when it gets rough in your tough training sessions or . . . your race. There’s a lot of power in using your pain and resistance in your favor. It’s the path to creating real change in your life. You’re always in the driver’s seat to do or not to do. It’s important to keep in mind that we are typically under fatigue and working through that fatigue is how we get stronger. Doing hard things make us happier. Next time you don’t feel like you don’t want to do something, flip your switch and realize the reason you don’t want to do it is EXACTLY the reason you should. Be disciplined, focused and versatile.
