There I was at the gym minding my own business, contently rowing 30 pounds on the back machine when Alaya (aka my old trainer) yelled out to Kris (aka my other old trainer) in disgust
about the amount of weight I was slinging around. Alaya happily added 40 more pounds and Kris chimed in "if you don't challenge yourself, you don't change yourself" repeatedly. Like I said, he repeated it over and over while I struggled with 70 pounds.
The whole scenario made me think about my gym dedication. Have I been dedicated? Yes. Have I seen results? Slowly. Do I want to change? Yes.
Kris's pep talk replayed in my head the rest of the workout and since then has been on repeat for all following workouts. The statement has even spilled over and been applied to other areas of my life. Is work challenging me? Are my relationships challenging me? Are my goals challenging? Am I pushing myself? Am I the best me?
Daily Challenge:
Find the area(s) in your life that need to be challenged.
