Motivation

Every July, I'm amazed by the Tour de France.  Say what you will about cyclists and doping, but the sheer commitment that these men make to achieving a goal, to overcoming an obstacle is simply astounding.  


I can't help but be motivated by their performances and commercials like this from Versus don't hurt either - 










And finally, an excerpt from one of Chuckie Veylupek's (the triathlete with spiked hair that used to be on the 90's gatorade commercials) best blogs - 


"When we commit and act, we're confronted by our comfort zone. Naturally, we're tempted to quit and we're very much encouraged by ourselves and others (but never mind them) to do so. If we forge ahead regardless, we expand our comfort zone and learn a valuable (and necessary) lesson, and the commitment grows stronger. Of course, that just repeats the whole cycle and we're forced to push our boundaries a little further once more."



You can check out the whole thing here, but do it after your workout, after you've followed through with your commitment, after you've pushed your comfort zone.
