Gym didn’t open today. That’s kinda annoying at first then it becomes an opportunity. Really? Yes – I was an opportunity to do something else instead. I ran:
And because I ran I felt that it was a good substitute rather than doing nothing.
I learnt some very interesting sayings recently which I quite like:
- Winners never stop trying
- 80% of success is showing up (Woody Allen)
I like the first one because, it says even though you are not a winner yet, you are a future winner now, provided of course you follow the 2nd one (showing up and trying).
And the other is cool because ‘being’ there is important. Some people just don't ‘be’ there – so If you’re there you’re so far ahead of everyone else and 20% to success. Quite true. What you do with the remaining 20% is really up to how you want to do.
And you know, when you’re up against “it”, wondering why you do it, knowing that you’re present and you’re trying, then that’s alright then, then its worth it, you’re on-route to success. That’s a good message to keep in your head.
