Giving up is easy to do, when you lack desire. But when the fire burns in your belly, giving up is almost impossible.

You almost have to be forced out – and even then, if you really want it, you’ll fight to get back in.

When it comes to being physically fit, healthy and strong, you may have lost sight of what you had.

You may feel as though you lost it and it’s too late to get it back.

This can be the case – but most of the time it isn’t.

You can bounce back and come back stronger than ever.

Smarter, too.

Be the person who will give up stupid habits with ease, but will not give up on what works.

And what works?

Taking one small step forward.

Then another. And another.

This never fails.

But waiting, delaying, looking for the perfect moment… how often does that work?
