we're all the same

a phrase ive been thinking about so much lately.... we're all the same on the inside. we all start out the same (of course with some exceptions) we all have the same ability to have a strong heart, healthy lungs, and a fit body- inside and out. i dont know why some people sell themselves so short? you CAN achieve ANYTHING you want to- anything you put your mind to. if you see someone running a 7 minute mile and you think i could never do that- you are sooooo wrong! do you think that person started out running a 7 minute mile? or even running at all? no way! small steps guys... start walking 1 mile, then walk a mile and jog a mile, then jog 2 miles, then run a mile and jog a mile, then run 2 miles, and so on. you get the drift! i have been so bummed about losing progress so many times, and every time i have come back. with a little hard work and dedication. i think a lot of people are just afraid. afraid to work hard, afraid of success, afraid of failure, afraid to prove themselves wrong or maybe prove others wrong! people are afraid, and i challenge you to NOT BE AFRAID. have some confidence and who really cares who you prove wrong or right. its not about them- its about you and your life. and how you feel and how you take care of yourself- or not.
