Stop comparing and just get moving...

"Comparison is the death of joy" Mark Twain said that and I would have to agree. I often get discouraged when I feel I am not running as fast, lifting as much, or seeing result as quickly as someone else might be. I rarely pat myself on the back or feel pride because I have a tendency to look at someone I may idolize and see how far I am from getting to their level when I should be focusing on the journey.

I have to remember that it isn't about what the person next to me is doing it's about what I am doing. I admittedly am still in a rut and I can't seem to get out of it. I am lacking in motivation and it is overwhelming. I saw a link recently by a women I follow named Marie Forleo who said to forget about motivation and just get moving. She was addressing life in general and she is right. I need to get moving in any area even if its totally unrelated to fitness. I just need to get moving. I need to abandon the couch, the T.V., and the computer for awhile. I need to get my behind into gear and accomplish something.

In conclusion...Focus on my journey and avoid comparison. Seek motivation through action not through contemplation.
