This is an interesting picture and a supposedly “motivation” picture, but I’m not totally sure.
I was first Skeptical when it said ‘I will beat her.’ I know there have been times when I have tried to run a little faster than someone on the treadmill or have looked at the person next to me at lunch and felt a little proud that I had a more healthy lunch on my plate (I know not the best but I have a point.) We all have those moments, however I believe how ever hard it is, we shouldn’t compare ourselves to others, especially when we are taking this personal fitness journey.
So I read on and I finally see ‘She is the Old Me.’ I understand why someone would think this is motivating, but I have two problems with it. 1. whatever journey you are on is at the stage you are at, so why do these things and feel that you aren’t working hard enough. 2. The time when you weren’t on this journey (actually maybe you have always been on this journey – life or whatever this journey is to you) you were a wonderful beautiful person but for some reason you made this change, and you shouldn’t read this and look back that you ever felt that you weren’t being the best you. I think we change, but our whole lives, on the inside and out, you are the best thing you could ever be. You are YOU! Oh actually I have three things. And 3. Before I started this list I said we shouldn’t compare ourselves to others, but I think the worst thing is comparing ourselves to ourselves. I hardly use this word, but I hate that feeling. It doesn’t help anyone in the world.
So you might totally disagree with me, but I just had to share this. What are your thoughts on this? Comment below
I hope you have a lovely sunday 🙂
