The Conditions are never perfect, but the Time is Always right to do something positive for yourself. Rainy Mondays Especially!!! No excuses, get up, get to the Academy, the Gym, the Track, on Your Mat get anywhere except the comfortable prison of your bed and get moving.

💪Consistency over perfection💪

🏃‍♂️Action over Over-planning 🏃‍♂️

Your success is never about being perfect, it’s about being consistent first, and then consistently asking yourself to go just a little further, or a little farther, a little faster, to hold the pose just a little longer.

🥉🥈🥇Progress is made, measured, and observed over time, not over night, and is more often than not looks like ocean waves 🌊

Sometimes high, sometimes, low, even crashing sometimes, but even when it doesn’t feel like it the tide is always rising, and you are moving further and further away from the shore where you started 🏝

The first step might be the hardest or the easiest, but guaranteed there will be many hard steps , many slides, and many falls. The important thing is to keep taking those steps, keep getting back up, stop the slides, and keep your gaze on what’s ahead 👓

No parking 👮‍♀️ no complaining 😢

☀️The conditions are as perfect as the need to be, and the time is always right to get moving ⏰
