"REMEMBER, forget, REMEMBER"

"It doesn't take skill, it takes WILL!"

This is what my coach drilled into my head this morning as I was starting to fade away mentally and physically. My body was draining and in turn I was on the fast track of checking out. I lost the desire to push through and rise above.

I have somewhat of a disease depending on the day and activity. To the public, it is labeled "Procrastination" or better yet "Lack of Motivation", but to me it is simply "Laziness". Lame I know. It is frustrating to me that I let myself give in to such bad attitudes. It in no way helps my self-esteem, nor does it give me the added confidence, that I need, to complete my task at hand.

As my coach kept talking to me about ways to improve my WILL, all I could think about was how this little quote pertained to many aspects of my whole life. He wasn't just talking about this morning, but rather he was giving me life advice about not giving up or giving in at any point in my sojourn on earth no matter what the situation may be.

For some reason, this just hit me hard. I need to make changes and this was just the brick to the head to make me realize it. I don't need to master skills in order to be happy. I don't need to master skills to achieve my goals. I don't need to master skills to take a leap of faith and try new things. But I do need the WILL to learn those skills to my best ability, complete my activities fully going strong the whole time and to keep that WILL going long afterwards.

That WILL will create a new and hopefully long-lasting confidence and self recognition that I can do things and do things well if I put my mind to it. The idea that I can achieve anything if only I put my mind to it is a new attitude for me to really focus on. Thank goodness I have an amazing husband! One who never fails in perseverance or lacks in motivation. I have never met anyone else in this life who has that kind of dedication. (if i have, it is few and far between). He is my best example of the type of person that I want and should be. He is my best friend and is my greatest support, even when I become lazy.

My goal is to REMEMBER REMEMBER, instead of remembering the forgets!
