To find hope in anything gives you the hope to go on.
Whether your goal here is to lose weight, gain weight, build muscle, to make friends, or just to feel like you are a part of something, you've started with hope. A hope to reach the finish line, a hope to be healthy, happy, alive, and a hope that we can continue on the path we've laid out for ourselves.
With great expectations comes the chance that you will fall and setbacks are a real occurrence that many find it hard to reach through. It is important to remember, however, that almost everyone has a setback in their journey. Even with a plan in place and no matter how perfect they feel their life has been, everyone has experienced a time when they feel that they had no hope, they've lost the will and drive that motivates us to do things in our lives, but when you've been to your bottom, where else will you go? Only one way left...and that's back up.
The lesson here is that no matter what challenges you face, you are an amazing person. We all are. We have the ability to show tremendous resolve and to fight through anything. When you reach the end of the road, or find yourself back into your old habits, remember, you started once and you can start again.
There will always be a yesterday that we can't change, but there is a tomorrow we can prepare for. Make the most of today.
