2012 | Day 131: I Cannot be False to My Heart


MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Stay TRUE to YOU

Stay TRUE to yourself and all that you are. Hold tight to your dreams and goals, never letting anyone deter you from the possibility of them coming to life. Stay firm in your beliefs and convictions, steadfast in what you stand for. Never let the words of anyone who does not believe in you affect the decisions you make and the actions you take. Hold your character in the highest regard, for it is the true measure of your worth. Stay strong and keep your heart for the one who will value it, and see it as the most precious thing in the world. Never compromise yourself for fleeting moments of pleasure or the easy way out, knowing that staying true to yourself and working hard for what you want is the only real way to satisfaction of purpose. Go after what you want with all the passion that you have, pouring yourself into everything that makes you happy and gives you a smile. Laugh at the world and life, whether you agree with it or not, preparing to accept the good with the bad, the ugly with the beauty, the lies with the truth, because that is the nature of man. Never let anyone tell you what to do and who to be, for they are not you and can never be, your life your own and no one else’s. Take ownership of your life and stay TRUE to YOU – all that you are, can, and will be.

OTHER NOTES

Sleep: Broken, waking often, having a lot of trouble falling back asleep.

Energy: Feel completely shattered and have since a quarter of the way through training.

Quality of Training: Despite not really "feeling it" today, I soldiered through, glad to be done.

Supplements: For some reason Erase PRO does NOT have the non-water-retentive effects of Erase (I made this observation prior to my time in Florida, but since being back, this week has confirmed it), and even though I am still using three caps of Erase a day, I AM holding onto water, so, like I did in the week prior to Florida's shoots, I am going to stop using Erase PRO and use two caps of Erase (as I used to instead), finishing up my last fives doses of Erase the last five days in May.
