Inspiration Showcase: Episode 7 - Fighting the Enemies



Inspiration. Dedication. 

Motivation. Perseverance. 

Kindness. Willpower. 

Innovation. 

Determination. 

Bravery. 

Human Spirit.


Excuses are far easy to come up with... I'm too tired, it's too hot, I don't feel like it, tomorrow is another day, it's too cold, it's raining, something hurts.


When I had my stress fractures earlier this year, I saw the story of Brian Boyle (about which I have previously posted). Suddenly, the pain I was going through seemed insignificant, and it really made me realize that we all have our own enemies and hurdles. It's what we choose to do with them that will help determine the outcome.  



Dreaming big, and realizing that he had a purpose driven life, Brian has worked and fought hard to achieve his goals... still too cold or tired to nail your scheduled workout today?


By the way, this is post # 400!!! Wow, I've had a lot to say! Who would have thought!! ;)
