No Out

​Don’t give yourself an out. It’s difficult, but that’s what it takes to do the things you want to do. By no means am I perfect, but I recognize that what I want is on the other side of my excuses. No one is coming to save me, no one can force me to accomplish things. I have to cultivate the desire, the discipline, and the will to do what I need to do regardless of the circumstances. If the only time I can make it to class is early morning, and I want to improve my Jiu Jitsu, guess my bed will be lonely. If I need to lose weight, guess I won’t buy that chocolate peanut butter overload ice cream I enjoy so much. Sacrifices bring results, and justifications are a slippery slope. I know because I’m guilty too.
