This is your life

Your real life has begun.

Every decision you make, every workout you nail, every food you choose to fuel with, every person and cause you support: these things define you.

You define yourself.

No, really. You define yourself.


And how easy is it to change the definition, the essence of you? As easy as re-evaluating the decisions you make, the workouts you perform, the foods you eat, the causes and people about which you are passionate.

You were the geek or the nerd or the wimp in high school and college? Doesn't matter. You've never been athletic in your life? I don't care. You have body image issues, self esteem issues, you're shy? Doesn't mean a thing. You've never accomplished a goal you've set for yourself? You're afraid of failure? Pick yourself up. You're better than that.

You are in control. You shape your own destiny. You know what you need to do to get where you want to go.

Grab it. Own it. This is your life: every moment is your moment.

  2. "Own it" is my motto. For pretty much everything.

  3. That is absolutely true! So many people get defeated because they "can't lose weight". What they don't know is how to do it and they give up. Never give up I say!

  4. Yes! You know, I've realised that I am all the little choices that I make from minute to minute, day to day. There's no big paradigm shift that needs to go on. I just need to take it one meal, one workout, one thesis chapter at a time. Thanks!
