and this is why the phrase “sometimes it’s not the destination it’s the journey” exists.

lately when I’m trying to decide if i want to do some thing that’s out of my comfort zone, I’ve been trying to ask myself “will you regret not trying to do this if you look back on this moment and remember you didn’t do anything? is this activity some thing that I will always wonder about or is it something that I won’t care about in a week?”

it’s not always easy to be honest with yourself about these things, but in the long run I have to remind myself and others that you will never regret getting up and trying even if you fail. But regretting the times you chose to not do anything out of fear is the most common type of regret there is.

i’m not saying I’m perfect at following this advice, but if you want a shorter version for your brain to remember my brain always thinks of “you won’t EVER regret going to the gym, even if you don’t work out to your full potential that day”
