Nothing is ever just perfect!!!!

Man today has been a day!! Last night, my car got stuck in the snow trying to get home from work and I needed to have my brother pick me up in the truck. This was a very unexpected event and one that definitely through a curve ball at me. I had to adjust my work schedule for the next day to deal with this bullshit. This morning we had to go and pick it up and dig the snow out from under the car in order to clear it, now that road had been plowed and was in much better condition than last night. After we freed it, I went and killed it at the gym!!

Now, it would have been very easy to skip. I mean after all I had to eat a meal in my brothers truck before we retrieved the vehicle. Definitely not my ideal scenario, I prefer eating the pre workout meal at home and not having distractions before the gym. Going to harbor freight and digging a car out of the snow on the side of the road was less than ideal. But life happens and sometimes you just have to roll with the punches if you want long term success. You need to be adaptable and understand that things are not always perfect. We are so accustomed to having the perfect setup. To having the perfect supplement stack, to having the perfect pair of shoes, to having the perfect gym outfit. When things get derailed we fail to adjust.

I will admit this workout was one of my better sessions in a long time. I got in a great mental state and let it go. But how many of us would have been thrown off? Thrown off our gym routine, thrown off our diet? Made excuse as to why we can’t, instead of finding ways we can? My answer to that is a lot of us!!!!! A lot of us would fail to push forward when we got knocked back and that my friends is a sign of weakness. A sign that you fail to push through struggle, that you fail to adapt. And if we want any level of long term success, we must adapt and understand that nothing is ever JUST PERFECT!!!
