"It never fails. The day you feel like crap someone comes along and says something horrible to you. and it feels like the whole world woke up just trying to bring you down. No matter what your day is like stop the cycle so that it doesn't continue. Someone somewhere needs you to stay POSITIVE. Maybe it's the guy who's trying to get on the highway, or the girl who checked you out at the grocery store. Even when someone mistreats you turn around and smile at them. Whatever their problem is, most likely its not about you. So stay positive and maybe...just maybe they will continue the positive attitude."
You know, this is great advice, but I think there is more to it. I have been struggling with my attitude toward working out. I have fallen way short recently in the staying positive area. I sincerely apologize. Julie's post was a wake up call for me. I may not be the most fit girl at boot camp, but people notice me. When my attitude is not right, people see it. Trying to maintain a positive attitude about my workout honors God. It says that I appreciate the effort that is being made on my behalf by Bethany and the other campers.
I have to try harder to stay focused on the most important part of my journey...my relationships. My relationship with God, first and foremost, and then with my family and my friends. My outlook has to focus upward. If my vertical relationship (God) is in line, my horizontal relationships will flourish.
So, what does this have to do with my workout? Well, it is pretty simple. I will put more effort into becoming the fit me. I will do it, most of the time, with a good attitude. I will choose joy, because someone may need me!
Be blessed!
