"The Pain of Discipline is short, but the glory of fruition is eternal." Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Today I had to say farewell to my old gym shoes. I really loved these shoes because they were symbolic to me. These are the first pair of shoes that I wore the first day I entered the gym to embark on a new style of living. They were the first pair of shoes that I wore on my feet when I achieved running 3 miles in 29 minutes. These are the shoes that I wore on my daily walk reminding me each day, regardless of what was going on in my life, that I needed to continue to be disciplined and enter into the gym and complete my excercise activities. These shoes were a visual reminder to me that I needed to rejuvenate myself physically, mentally, and spiritually. Now I have a new pair of shoes that I wore to the gym last night. While completing the stair master for 60 minutes, and feeling my muscles ache, I decided that these new shoes were going to represent endurance and serve as a visual reminder to never give up and to keep moving foreward.
