My friend Jessica and I got our degrees at the same time - hers in Engineering, mine in Mathematics. These subjects, in case you aren't aware, are tough! There were classes we really had to struggle with, fight to get through, and survived only by digging our fingers in with everything we had. Along the way, many of the people who started at the same time we did dropped out, changed majors, etc. They quit. Jessica and I didn't and we have degrees to show for it.
Jessica and I came up with a saying, "We're not quitters, we're failures!" We'd rather fail a class three times and eventually pass it than quit and resign ourselves to the idea that we "just can't get it." That kind of sob-story defeatism has to be expunged from your mind. While there ARE things that you can't do - like flying via pixie dust - most of the things you want in life you CAN have, but only if you treat failure as a part of the learning process. If you see failure as an end, that makes you a quitter.
You can't succeed at anything if you quit. Don't be a quitter, be a failure.
Fitness goals are interesting in their abstractness, they can be quite oddball and they can take a very long time and a lot of energy to accomplish. Without a willingness to endure failure you'll never reach your goals.
Here are a few examples of failures that made good to keep you inspired to keep failing and never quit.
Know your Aims, redefine your motivates and stand out from the crowd knowing nobody is perfect.
