I was on social media yesterday and I came upon this picture and when I read it, it was just one of those days that I needed to hear something and when I read it, oh my goodness, it said, your only competition is your potential. when I read that it just hit me because I've been even me I've been going to the gym 10 plus years not consistently consistently for about two to three years and I come across some people sometimes I'm just a dang they're freaking strong or a damn they lift heavy and then I like at what I'm lifting I'm like what the heck Denise you've been coming to the gym for how long and you're still lifting this but it's not even that it's about who you were two three four five years ago is unmatched to who you are today, even mentally. We've grown so much and sometimes we don't even realize it but that goes for anybody that needed to hear that.

Thank you so much for sharing that I definitely need that too I van go to the gym consistently for about 56 years but I don't know if I like a total of 10 years and I also get flustered sometimes because I feel like I should be further but at the same time it's like looking back from me even a couple months ago like I mentally I'm so much stronger

I totally 100% agree. I have been going to the gym since probably about 2015 and I didn't really get serious about it until like 2020-2021 and like 2021 I switched to like a real freeway gym because before I had been going to Planet Fitness like inconsistently and it's just like man like I see some people like they start and like six seven eight months later they're like at their goals they're lifting the weight they want to lift and I'm still here like working up to it and it's kind of like it's frustrating to look
