The end of procrastination

Day one. I have been talking about starting a fitness/motivational blog for months now and decided to practice procrastination at its best. Well, today is the day. Today, my 4 month wait was over and I found out that I did not get my dream job. I immediately felt like I was at one of my lowest points that I have hit in a long time and after a few hours of moping in my sorrow, I decided to be productive instead. It is not about the "things" that happen to us in life, it is about the view in which we take of them. Our perceptions can lead us to disaster or utter happiness just in the way we view each day, each moment, each second. I choose to be happy. I choose to be successful and measure success by my standards and not those of society. I choose to live every day to its fullest and strive for goals that may sometimes seem out of reach. Even if it may sometimes lead to disappointment, to me, it is never considered failure. "Always aim for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

And so my blogging journey begins. Tomorrow I will outline some fitness goals I would like to reach by December. For tonight I will keep my head up and remain strong in my belief that everything happens for a reason. Through our experiences, both positive and negative, we gain strength. "No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster." ― Dalai Lama XIV
