Here it comes again. That fatigue rushes to my senses as I push through yet another set of workouts. Each rep it tells me how tired it is and how much it could use a rest. It makes a great big plea, and it goes to deaf ears. I don’t care what it has to say. I want to be who I want to be. I don’t want to be subjugated to how I feel. I won’t let how I feel get in the way of how I want to feel. My desire to be different than I am now is what pushes me to be fine with it. To be fine with the discomfort and pain I feel now. To be fine with the fact that I won’t have any rest coming up this weekend. I know I got to do this all over again over the weekend. Even though I reached the end of the week. I should be able to rest, thats what my body was used to. These past weeks I have taken away its rest as it knew it. Now is scrambles around scratching for a moment to stop. I won’t give it to it. I don’t care how bad it gets I will finish this how I said I would in my mind. I will prove myself right.
There’s a point where stopping seems so tempting. Looking back at all you’ve already conquered, the urge to pause and admire your progress hits hard. It’s at that moment when the struggle feels justified and taking a break almost seems deserved. But that’s where many stumble, and it’s where you have to push past. The view behind you will always be there, but the real battle lies in what’s still ahead. The moment you let yourself rest too long, that satisfaction can turn into complacency, and the progress you made starts slipping away.
Each step forward, no matter how small, is a step closer to what you’ve been fighting for. It’s easy to celebrate too early, but the real victory is in the consistency. That drive to continue moving even when everything inside you screams to stop. You’ve made it far, but you know better than anyone that this journey isn’t over. The challenge now is to resist the comfort of achievement, to refuse the temptation to rest too soon. The climb continues, and every day you stay on that path is another day you prove to yourself that nothing can stand in your way.
You’re in control. The future is shaped by what you decide to do today, not by what you’ve done yesterday. Let that fuel you, keep your eyes on the horizon, and don’t look back for too long. The real glory is in what’s still to come, not in what’s already passed.
