F Is For Failure

Can You Accept Less Than The Best?
I love working out. I don't mean the day-in/day-out of being in a gym with the ability to lift weights at any given moment. I mean I love knowing that exercise is the one place in my life where it's okay to not be perfect every time you do it. That's not to be confused with poor form. The gym is the place where you can have an off-day and still feel like you were productive. Some people never give themselves credit to get to the gym because they're afraid of how they look or how others might perceive them. Maybe they put on an extra couple of pounds and they're afraid that their social circle may think less of them. It bears reminding that nearly every single person who steps foot into a gym is there to better themselves, in whatever capacity. Virtually everyone around you is there because they see something/things that need improvement. You'll rarely have perfect workouts, or the perfect workout attire, or the best hair-day, etc. Failure, in it's best form, is inevitable. Can you accept it to help yourself move forward?
