I want to be better, for me, not for you.
Each day when I walk through those doors, gear in hand, ready to work, it's for me, not for you.
I am the one who feels what I feel.
There's a voice in my head, mostly good, sometimes bad. I am the boss of that voice. I motivate me.
I am the one that listens to that voice in my head. I can control it. I motivate me.
Sometimes I'm angry, I need to clear my head, so I move weight and move a lot.
It's not about the score, the time, the muscles, the status, or look, it's about me being ok with being me.
I want to move really fast for me, it's not to beat you.
If you beat me or even if you don't, you are you and I am me. What you did, how fast or how many has nothing to do with motivating me.
I may finish first or towards the end. In the end it doesn't matter, because I know me, I give it my all, and I always finish on top of my own scoreboard when I'm being the best version of me.
I am not the best, I may never be. But that's ok, because I'm ok being me.
Each day when I walk out those doors, sweaty gear in hand, I know I did work, mostly work on me. How fast or how many truly doesn't matter because I became better. Better at being me.
When the clock beeps go and you only focus on you, you will be amazed at the things you can do.
The less you concern yourself with me him or her, the more you will learn to motivate you.
If I leave all sweaty, out of breath, with nothing more left to give, I won.
It's not about me vs. you him or her. It's me vs. me and you vs. you.
