You’re Capable of More!

You're Capable of More!

If we don’t keep pushing our limits, we’ll never know our true hidden potential. Many times we achieve great strides and hang out as if that’s as good as it gets. Sometimes it’s because we don’t believe it will get better or we get complacent thinking, “it was pretty tough getting this far, I can’t push myself any harder.”

Don’t be content with where you are. You may need some patience and understanding, knowing some big goals take time, but if you want more, then believe you can have it.

Go after it!

Olympic athletes, for example, Olympic power lifters or track and field athletes are constantly pushing for an extra kilogram or an extra inch.

Even though it may not seem like much, when lifting extremely heavy or running, jumping or throwing, success is sometimes measured in small differences.

These small measurements may take weeks, months and in some cases years to gain.

Since the goal is an Olympic medal, these athletes, rarely quite or stay at a certain level for very long. Those who do, never make it to the elite level.

Think of this in terms of your workouts. Maybe you have a weight loss goal. It was pretty easy going in the beginning. You were losing weight and all the sudden you it a level where you were training pretty hard, but the extra inches/weight loss started getting slower.

If you really want to accomplish your goal, stick with it.

It will happen and you will break through, but if you choose to stay at the level you’ve accomplished, you may never see the real result you wanted.

Keep going, keep moving forward and you will see success in a different light. If you think you’ve achieved success now, add a little more effort and imagine where it can take you.
