Get Back Up

We all fail. We all have fears. We all face difficulties. We all have insecurities... The list of "shortcomings" goes on and on.

I, like most others, regularly look around the fitness landscape -- whether it be on Facebook, Instagram, or specific websites. After recently sitting back and soaking up the content (much of it being awesome, might I add!) something dawned on me: everything looks perfect. Everybody seems to be doing the fitness thing right. Nobody messes up; nobody shows vulnerability; everybody looks like a supermodel!

Trust me. This is *not* the case.

I could on about the industry as a whole, but I want to stick to who I know best: me. I fail; several of my ideas have fallen flat on their face. I have fears; I worry that people won't value my content and then decide to go elsewhere. I face difficulties; with so much information on the internet, I, at times, find it hard to provide valuable content. I have insecurities; if you know me, you know I face anxiety, and it can result in a feeling of inadequacy.

Why do I say all this? Because success is on the other side of our imperfections. When we get knocked down, we need to get back up. When we face fears, we need to confront them with confidence. When we run into difficult situations, we must keep moving forward and not give up. When we become consumed with insecurities, we must remain calm and know that we can make it through.

So trust me, don't think any single one of us has it right. We don't; I don't. As for me, though, I will continue to #finishtherep. I will keep providing you informative content; I will continue giving you the best service I can offer; I will always put my best foot forward. (All of this even after hitting myself in the face with a pumpkin. If you haven't seen the video, it will be coming around again soon.)

#dowork and #growstrong!
