I’ve been sick the past week or so, and the advice I get seems crazy .... They tell me, they keep telling me: “rest Jason, don’t overdue it “”” My mom, my aunts, people I love, people I work with tell me to “take it easy ...... They tell me to take care of myself, don’t “overdue it ..... But what does that mean? Because I got the sniffle and it hurts a little more, I should give up on the fight that I’m in ????? How does laying around help my body? How does avoiding the sweat and the pain make me any healthier? I think we as a society got it backwards ..... Adversity=opportunity to achieve, but we’re conditioned by statements like, “relax, take the day” 🤷♂️ or, “don’t be so hard on yourself”, to avoid pain and suffering at all cost ...... The problem is, life literally begins with pain and suffering. Childbirth ain’t easy on mom or baby! Then, as we grow, what happens? Our joints hurt, as our bodies actually stretch and change ..... Good things come from choosing to suffer a bit. That’s all I’m saying. ...and when you do something painful working toward a goal, you gain confidence ..... I feel good today even though I feel bad. ?? I am getting better at dealing with pain. I pulled my crusty snot-stuck face off my pillow,dragged myself out of bed, took myself outside into the 27 degree morning, and ran three miles .... I was blowing snot rockets and my sleeves are crusted like a 3rd grader, my glasses are fogged and my muscles hurt, but I accomplished something this morning in spite of all the excuses people gave me, that I could’ve let become my narrative ..... If the goal matters to you, decide to get it. Decide that nothing anyone including the voice in your own head can stop you and DO IT !!!!! Much love, happy #BulletProofFriday to you, make it the best one yet !!!! #ActionCloser #TAT #JasonHowland #friday #win #winning #competitive #live #passion #sick #run #running #goals #fitness #wontquit #cantquit he #ActionNation #Sales #SalesTraining #WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! https://www.instagram.com/p/B4mpULil1ex/?igshid=11me4mow0cw7v
