An inspirational message I loved, written on the wall of my new CrossFit gym. 100% true and applies both to physical exercise as well as in life in general.
In regards to exercise, it is needless to say that in the beginning, everything seems to be not just difficult but impossible to do. You need time, your body needs time to adjust. You can hardly walk after the first sessions. However you don't give up. You keep trying. You want to become better. You sweat your a$$ off, cause you like the progress you see. You like the better version of you more. You feel proud cause it's YOU who made it...
The same happens in life. In the beginning every difficulty seems to be unbearable. You feel helpless, you feel that you cannot overcome any obstacles. However during this journey you learn more and more each day. More about you, more about life. You get to win challenge after challenge. And you feel more and more confident about yourself. You know you can make it again since you have already done great in the past. You move on, you never give up. Life is how it is... With its ups and downs. But you feel ready for anything it may bring you. And it's not that it gets easier, YOU get stronger.
