Determination comes from 1 per cent inspiration and 99 per cent perspiration. Old and a goody but true.

Blood sweat and many many many tears.

There was a time where I would be so lazy, not want to do anything, I now want to do everything in my power to better myself every day, not be better than anyone as we are all equal, but a better person than I was yesterday. Now I DON'T want to come across as an inspiration because I don't like that word at all. An inspiration to me is someone that does something that someone else wants to do or to be. I want to be my own person and I want to do my own thing. I don't find a runner an inspiration, because I myself don't want to run, I don't find a footballer an inspiration because I myself don't want to be in the AFL. I want to be my own person and do my own thing. I admire people that set themselves goals and I set myself goals too. I never set myself a time frame as when I get to that time frame and I know full well I haven't accomplished what I set out to achieve, I automatically feel as though I have failed. I am from now on going to feel the fear and leave it behind, I will feel that immense fear and do it anyway !!

I get back into the gym and into the water tomorrow. I haven't been in the water for a while but I will be commencing my water aerobics and I can't wait. I have enjoyed pushing myself to my limits, beyond those limits and this year alone have proven that the fear I am now leaving behind was the fear of the unknown. What about if I failed? What about if I had to admit defeat? What would other people think of me? I then realized.

BUGGER THEM!! IT IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF ME. It's what I think of me that really truly matters at the end of the day. When I look at the woman looking back at me at the end of the day, I can really, truly tell you I am so proud of her. I can tell you that person that I am proud of... IS ME. I'm not better than anyone else, I am a determined young lady who has perspired her way through 2016 and accomplished a lot so far and that is something to be proud of
