Life is full of challenges, and no matter the path you choose, there will always be struggles. But here’s the truth: you get to choose your hard.
Is Being in Shape Hard?
Absolutely. It takes discipline, consistent exercise, and the mental strength to keep going when it gets tough.
Is Being Strong Hard?
Yes, building strength requires effort, focus, and pushing your body to its limits.
Is Being Flexible Hard?
Definitely. Flexibility means enduring the discomfort of stretches and sticking to a routine, even when it’s painful.
Is Being Coordinated Hard?
Of course. Coordination comes from repetition—practicing movements over and over until they feel natural.
Is Being Fast Hard?
Yes. To get faster, you must constantly push against your current limits, improving step by step.
Is Being Healthy Hard?
It can be. You need to make sacrifices: eating nutritious foods instead of junk, staying active, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
But here’s the flip side:
Being Out of Shape is Hard.
When I was overweight, I couldn’t even touch my toes because my stomach got in the way. Simple tasks became challenges.
Being Weak is Hard.
I struggled to do things that most people take for granted—basic manual labor felt impossible.
Being Slow is Hard.
I was constantly left behind. People joked about it, and I missed out on opportunities because I couldn’t keep up.
Being Unhealthy is Hard.
Waking up every day in pain, feeling tired, and knowing that your body is holding you back—it’s a constant struggle.
So, Pick Your Hard.
Whether you choose the discipline of fitness or the challenges of inactivity, life won’t be easy either way. But when you commit to bettering yourself—through strength, speed, coordination, or health—you unlock a life of growth and opportunity.
