PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION
When you join a fitness center or begin a weight loss program you began heading down a new path . A path that will hopefully take you to your desired goal , whatever that may be . Perhaps itʼs weight loss , a stronger body , a healthier body , or maybe just to feel better about yourself . The important part is you chose to do something about it . You identified that your existing path was not working and you did something about it . Many times paths are long and arduous . Paul Mc- Cartney wrote about the “ Long and Winding Road .” A direct path is not always a realistic path . There are known obstacles in the way and we need to understand we have t o w o r k around those obstacles so we can get to where we want to go . Itʼs okay to go around a
mountain . Itʼs easier than going over or through the mountain . It might take us longer but we still get to our destination with less scrapes and bruises . If you feel like you are never going to reach your goal there are two things to look at . First , does the road youʼre traveling indeed lead to the goal , or second , are you just driving off of the side of road and not paying attention to your driving . Many times itʼs just the latter . If you do get off track , just take a deep breath , compose yourself , clear your head , and get back on the road . The name of the game is progress not perfection . While youʼre on your journey , why not take your head out of the map and enjoy the beautiful scenery ? Many trips are taken just to enjoy the scenery . Youʼll eventually get to your destination . Enjoy the ride .
