I’ve gotten better at ignoring that voice that says to stop...You can too! 2.)  My/Your body is capable of so much more than i ever considered it to be 3.) People vastly underestimate the length of time it takes inside of consistency  4.) Having a target brings fuel to get started (motivation), discipline for that target is required to get there  5.)
