The road to being buff begins with one decision…

It is the decision to move beyond lacing up those sneakers, getting off of the couch, and actually stepping on the treadmill…

The road to being buff involves setting aside memories of the last attempt, when unforeseen issues derailed your efforts, and digging in your heels to do things properly this go-round…

It means setting goals, no matter how small they might be, and working your hardest to reach them…

You know, one could think of this road as a metaphor for life.
Sometimes we attempt things, and when we encounter difficulties, we give up.
Being sidelined doesn’t mean we have to give up on our dreams.
It means that we have the opportunity to step aside, assess the situation, and attack it again, armed with a better plan.
It is then when we can fully appreciate the journey we just traveled…God at our side…encouraging us every step of the way.
