In
honor of the holiday, I am going to go a slightly different route for this
edition of Motivation Monday. Now, I am quite certain that Dr. King never
imagined his quotes would be listed on a fitness blog but I want you to keep
something else in mind. The tag line of this blog if you will is “Creating a
Better You Through Bodybuilding.” This is not just an improvement of the physical.
One cannot grow simply within that one area. One should seek to obtain
enlightenment in mind, body, and spirit.
So
with that said, let’s look at some quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King on today
of all days.
“Faith is taking the first
step even when you don't see the whole staircase.”
This one is difficult to master but if you have faith
in your plan, sometimes you just need to put your head down and focus on the
task at hand. Don’t look around too much at the big picture because the
enormity of your task may be defeating. Just put the work in and climb one step
at a time.
“We must accept finite
disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”
Disappointment is always going to be there but you
need to nuture the goal to be slightly better than you were yesterday. If you
did a mile yesterday, go for 1.05 tomorrow. Get one more rep. Even if you try
and fail, know that you can be successful tomorrow.
“Change does not roll in
on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.”
I
am amending his quote slightly here in that I am not listing the other two
sentences of the quote. However, I found that this is very true. It takes hard
work for improvement and all your thought must be bent upon it. As a wise man
similarly said, “No pain. No gain.”
