Sixpack abs and muscles

If you promise yourself that “this year I’m gonna lose 10lbs”, and you don’t, you probably may feel a bit like a failure.

Every time you make those promises and you don’t do it, your confidence is taking a hit. Do this for a few years consistently, and you’ll start to feel like you’re incapable of anything. Confidence down, depression up

As a result, whenever life gets challenging, you’re gonna feel like you can’t handle it.

You know you fail at everything you promise yourself, so how are you going to handle this?

On the other hand, if you set a goal to have six-pack abs and big muscles, and you get it, your confidence will skyrocket to the moon. You made a promise to yourself and you did it

Whenever life gets challenging, you’ll feel like you can handle anything. You know that you’re capable of achieving anything you set your mind to

As we make and keep commitments to ourselves, even small commitments, we start to develop this inner integrity that gives us the self-control, courage, and strength to accept more responsibility in our lives

Fitness is a great way to build this up

Little by little, our honor and strength become greater than our mood swings and lack of discipline

This is how fitness doesn’t just change your body, it can change your entire life

It’s not the visible results (although it helps), it’s the sense of accomplishment and the confidence that comes along with it. 

What builds confidence isn’t necessarily the visible results (although it helps), it’s sticking to agreements we make with ourselves
