Quote of the Day

“You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.” -Georges St. Pierre

In class today someone said something so moving, she said being sad shouldn't be seen as a bad thing, it should be seen as a good thing. A certain amount of sadness is needed to be able to recognize happiness.

There are some days when I am so fed up with the world. Times when I want to crawl in my bed and hide away for ages. But these are also the times when I feel most creative. And these are the times which help me appreciate the days that are wonderful for no reason. Overcoming negativity and sadness is something everyone deals with, but the more you keep pushing, the stronger you become. And strength is such a beautiful thing. 

Everyday I am learning about myself and about others. Everyday I get to experience the beauty in the world that many others do not. Everyday I remind myself to appreciate little things that bring me joy, and I challenge you to do the same.
