There are many things in life to be thankful for, and recognized for. Taking care of loved ones, lending a helping hand to strangers, caring for those who are sick and less fortunate. But time goes by when you feel like you haven't done much for yourself. With today's ease and convenience surrounding everything else we do, it's a good feeling to put in some hard work for yourself, and actually see the results that pay off, and leave you more confident in yourself.

Weight training, whether it be bodybuilding styles or powerlifting, give a profound feeling of struggle with the results that show depending on the discipline you're willing to put in. To be stronger than you were before, you have to show yourself that you're willing to put in the work in order to become stronger, or more fit; whatever the goal may be.

I would start by paying back some of the individuals around me in my community that have played such a big role in keeping me stable since developing some other health issues. My mother, my sister, my boss, and the homeowners the business I work for helps with. Then perhaps, I would be a bit selfish and put the money into my home by getting a new roof and such. -The things that always get put off until "next year"
