It’s 2:45 am and kind of a sleepless night so I’m on line looking through the progress pics of many of my friends who’ve been on this site awhile, especially those who Inspire me.
It made me think, it takes Will Power and determination to GET in shape, but will power itself comes and goes. But it takes real Character to STAY in that kind of shape over time and improve on it. And real character doesn’t come and go, it is who and what you are inside.
I guess that’s why I look up to the people I do. Not just because of the shape they are in, but because they’ve kept going and have not only stayed that way and continue to try to look better and be better. It’s part of their character to set a high standard and not let it go of it when it gets tough.
So now instead of getting sleepier and wanting to go back to sleep, I wish I was back in Denver where they had a 24 Hour Fitness so I could go work out!

Well said. Nothing like late night insights
I agree in that there definitely appears to be very distinct ends of the spectrum when it comes to an individual’s level of determination and pursuit of personal growth. I have friends and colleagues, as we all do, who appear more than happy with status quo, especially when that status quo is far less than par for being conducive to a healthy lifestyle. It’s interesting to observes the differences among all of us, as well as the similarities, and what distinguishes between the two.
