“Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.” -Marcus Aurelius

You can do anything you put your mind to. You can accomplish any fitness benchmark you want- a dead hang pull-up, pistol squat, bar muscle up, and more! You can achieve any level of fitness you desire, with enough work and dedication. However, that also comes with sacrifices. The more you want to progress, the more important a clean diet based in whole foods and getting sufficient sleep every night become. You’ll probably have to give up some nights out with friends to get to bed early, and you’ll sacrifice a lot of your free time to get in your workouts. But if you truly want something, it is within your reach.

Just because you can’t do something today, does not mean that you won’t be able to do it one day. If you can dream it, you can achieve it.

In terms of words of wisdom, there’s something else I want to share. It’s not quite fitness related (although it can be). If you only ever remember one thing that I say, I want it to be this: You are enough exactly the way you are. You don’t have to change anything at all. You, just you, are enough. I’m afraid you may never hear this, and I think it’s something that everyone should hear and know is true.

If you want to change and grow, you certainly can. But anything that you want to do should be because you want to. Not because someone else thinks you should, or society thinks you should, or your family or your significant other, or some stranger or magazine thinks you should. You are your own person, and you are enough exactly the way you are. And at Choice City, we love you just the way you are!
