The Will-Power: Changing

I remember waking up in the early morning winter, heading out the door before the sun even rising in the east. The cold morning greeting me with a stab of freezing air to my whole body. Clinging to myself to savior the heat from the house to last me until my car gets ready. 

As I drive to work, with the music blasting away to get me started for the day. I come upon a certain familiar street, I always take to work..I see this middle-age men, jogging slowly, with no shirt on. Thinking to myself, "he's crazy, going to freeze"..the next day, same gentle man jogging slowly down the street with no shirt on, and the next day and so on. He became like a familiar passerby friend, greeting me every morning on that road. Even on some days when  I don't see him, I wonder what happened..but for the next two month, Monday through Friday..I see this gentlemen jogging slowly without a shirt. 

What I didn't get then and now see, is the determination that he had for himself, to be a healthier and better person..for whatever reason he may have. He woke up early and jogged, without a shirt on.

He's demeanor at first took me aback at the beginning, but it really didn't matter to him. (Fast forward) I still see this gentlemen from time to time now, and I can say...it really is worth getting healthier for oneself. He looks better then ever and is still determine to stay healthy as possible. I never stop and said Hello, but his will power to greet the cold air every morning and with no shirt on...gave me the will power to change my life this summer...

So with heavy breathing, with sweat dripping down my head and neck..feeling the temperature rising slowly...my leg is getting strain with slightest pressure of an ache, for me to stop. Feeling I can't go on any longer, but searching for the well power within me to continue. " This is for you, a better you, you can't stop now."(repeating over and over in my head). Making me determine to move faster to the music, coming through my earphones..."I have to finish this"...I'm making a change for myself, no one else, but for me. To be a healthier and better role model...I'm proud to all those individual who are making a difference in them, to become a healthier person. For whatever reason they may have, getting started is just the beginning...

My fave things at the moment...
