“I prepared myself how I chose and got the results I deserve.”

– Michael Phelps

The great Olympian uttered these words last night during his interview with Bob Costas.  It’s a hard truth, but truth none-the-less. One many us, including myself must face.

How many times have I skirted training or not given my fullest attention or effort?

How often do you say to yourself, “I’m not going to get adjusted today” or “I think I’ll skip the gym today.”

When we do, how often do we make it up to ourselves?

Hard truths are life lessons and once acknowledged and learned, the only thing to do is change who I am.
