“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Day 14/30
I have been following the journey of a fitness influencer on Instagram and it makes me wonder if such people do exist in real life. She seems to be living a perfect life especially when it comes to leading a productive lifestyle. She was quiet overweight when she decided to take things into her own hands by starting her fitness journey. It’s been 4 years that she has been following it diligently and I’m in awe of her. She strives hard everyday to be the best version of herself. It has only been 2.5 years for me yet I’ve fumbled way too many times.
I don’t feel productive whenever I have issues with my mental health. I feel lethargic, lazy and end up whiling away my time doing nothing. This wonder woman works on her goals, ever day with the same determination she had when she started. This gives me hope that we can be consistent in our life. We just need to fight and win against the demons in our mind.
Working on things that don’t provide instant gratification can drain all of our energy. That’s the reason we fall off the wagon more often than we can imagine. We seek immediate reward always. Training the mind to delay gratification is the first and biggest step towards success. Finding a strong purpose will help you stick by your goals.
All things set aside, this wonder woman has inspired me work on myself, truly and faithfully. No excuses, no escapes, sheer hard work to become the best version of myself.
If any of you are intrigued by her story, please read her article below, it’s beyond inspirational.

I have a strong desire to know myself in my best version. On a scale of 1-10 where 10 is my best version, I feel like I’m on 2 right now. The journey from 2 to 10 won’t be easy at all but the extremely fulfilling. I want to give it a shot. I did embark on this journey 2.5 years back but I’ve not been supremely focused and consistent about it. It’s high time I do that.
My ‘quest to be best’ begins right now!
SUPER MODE 
I’m just like her in size, which I find a bit funny😄💁. I really think you are doing great, not everyone can run 13 km, which is not even your limit, you ran 18 km before, don’t think less of yourself, 👋👋

No, I’m not undermining my achievements. I’m in awe of her consistency. That’s what I’m aiming for. I want to be more consistent in my life! Be able to spring back up after a set down without wasting much time.
