Do you want it bad enough?

Everyone has goals that they want to achieve, right? The only way to make this happen is to put in the time and effort. There will be days where you are tired and days that you want to quit which is when you need to ask yourself, “How badly do I want it?” Here are some things you need to think about before inhibiting your goals. 

1.       Struggling is okay. It has and always will be part of the process. You are only going to get better by trying. You need to get uncomfortable with being comfortable. Getting outside of your comfort zone is crucial to change and success. So do your best and use your failures as stepping stones until you reach your goals!

2.       What’s your Why? Everyone has different reasons for doing what they do. Some of these ‘whys’ could include being healthy, beating your competition, being fastest on your team, etc. If you are working toward a goal every day, your reason why might get lost in the daily routine. Always remind yourself of your ‘why’ to keep you motivated and focused!

3.       Don’t take it for granted. Think of how many people would love to be able to get into a pool and swim their heart out.  Unfortunately, there are individuals who are unable to do so, find your passion and do it for them. If you do what others won’t today, you will be able to do what others can’t tomorrow.

Be sure to always train your hardest and work toward your goals, even in those tough times. This is where champions are made. If you are slacking and not giving it your everything, you are just wasting your time. How bad do you want it? Do you want to win? Do you want to be the best? Get out there and prove it!
