Okay seriously I like this motivational phrase very much. It's true enough to depict my situation and those of others who work hard to build their body or stretch their muscles. Sometimes you need absolute determination to achieve your target; in my case I've been trying to stretch so hard so that I can do a complete and perfect front and especially middle splits. My muscles seem to be so stiff that there is hardly any progress even though I carry out stretching exercises almost every day. It's truly discouraging. I'm already 22 and this is definitely not the best age to go for this. If you are still young and start doing it for now, everything will be much easier, the progress will be very significantly detectable and you gain better motivation from it.
There were times when I felt like giving up. I thought I was just not talented for this; Everyone around me in this field seems to be doing so much better than me despite the efforts I've put in. Is it that I've not been trying hard enough for it? I need more intensive exercise and efforts? Or I was just born to be sitting in front of computer playing games?
Anyway now I've made up my mind. Taekwondo is now my favourite and I will have to do something to reach my target. Sweating and experiencing pain are inevitable processes that one must go through before success is reached. As you are feeling pain, the weakness is actually slowly leaving your body at the same time! If you don't feel pain at all in the process, you are either doing it wrong or you aren't giving the sufficient effort that is required for progress. As the saying goes, "No pain, no gain" ! You gain NOTHING if you DON'T FEEL ANY PAIN!
Stay motivated and fight for what you want! Never give up!
