just a little better.

Denise said somthing yesterday that really hit me in the gut as being the gods-honest-truth. Its somthing I have always said to myself and to others, but in not such succint and clear terms. Denise definitely hit the nail on the head with this one:

"Yes, I'm getting stronger by the minute and I still have hope, so I know that anything's possible. I won't ever be perfect and I don't need to be, I just need to do a little better than I am right now. This I can do."

Those last three sentences are the most important... "I won't ever be perfect andI don't need to be, I just need to do a little better than I am right now. This I can do." I don't care who you are or where you are in your journey. I don't care what you've achieved or what you have left to achieve. I don't care what your goals are, whether they are strength gaining, fat loss, speed improvement or body accpetance and self esteem improvement. I don't care how old you are, how long you've been at this, how many times you've tried, slipped, tried again, gained, lost, given up or not given a damn. All you have to do is remember that you don't need to be perfect. No one is, no one ever will be, just do a little better than you are at this very moment and things WILL change, things WILL improve... and remind yourself of that... because "just a little better" is somthing ANYONE can do.

you can.

I can.

we will.
