Good, Better, Best, Never Let It Rest...

Whenever I am in the middle of a workout and I think I am too tired to finish, or begin to write and suffer from a block, I think back to what my brother used to tell me every time I would complain about something being too hard.

"Good, better, best, never let it rest, until your good is your better and your better is your best."

No matter what my family has always motivated one another to go that extra mile. Dexter doesn't believe in quitting, Diana doesn't believe in the word can't, Tomi Jean believes that if you dream it you can achieve it, my mom has always been right beside all of us as the head cheerleader when we feel like giving up, and my dad makes sure to give us a little tough love which results in us working harder. 

Without them, my own personal cheering section, I probably wouldn't be writing. I wouldn't be a 'finisher' of a Spartan Race. I wouldn't have believed that I could pack my bags and take off to Colorado. I wouldn't have went to college. I wouldn't believe in myself.

One of the biggest lessons that I have learned is that surrounding yourself with people who believe in you makes the world of difference. I once was someone who thought that having 'X' amount of friends was important. Now I know that having a handful of good people who support my crazy ideas and sometimes even take part in them are the ones who I need to have by my side, in my cheering section. 

You are only as strong, smart, happy, or beautiful as you believe that you are. Once you begin to realize that you can accomplish whatever you put your mind to. Then and only then will your good become your better and your better...your best.
