What have you done?

So I was speaking with a few people at the Waltham YMCA the other day. We were discussing different activities and challenges we have each been through. As one girl who works in the preschool was telling us everything she has done, which is a long list of things that is just too much to write down but she is pretty bad ass, it made a couple of the people in the group ask a question, "wow what have I done with my life."  I mentioned some of the things I have done, even though no where near close to the extreme things she has done. Sure I have travelled around, been to some amazing countries, and met countless people. Now I am almost finished my personal training class, one month left by the way, and I get challenged daily to push myself to compete and finish crazy workout challenges.

Some of these challenges are just absolutely insane. Before this class, I never would have even thought of doing them, or even finishing them. These challenges have also helped me gain confidence in myself. I watch other classmates, age range from 19-61, guys and gals, grow, push themselves, and gain confidence as well. We see things differently now and think that we can accomplish any task they throw at us. Tonight I was watching American Ninja Warrior, and I found myself thinking, "what can I do to challenge myself even more?" Besides the whole challenge of life and finally starting work in a month, what else can I do physically to challenge me. I have a few ideas, but need some more. So if you have any let me know! Maybe I am going through another mid life crisis ( I think I have been going through one for most of my life haha ).

It never hurts to challenge yourself and see how far you can push your body. I know it has helped me build self esteem and confidence. Maybe a little cockiness as well but that never really hurts haha.

And tonights quote:

My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch.

Keep on Keepin on

So it has been a while again. I guess either nothing is going on or I am not very interesting. Haven't figured out which one yet.

 I have done a lot of thinking lately about things and who I am. I see that I am growing up in some of my thought processes, but I feel more alive and younger than ever. I have more energy and more confidence as well. This class that I have been taking has helped me figure out who I am and given me the confidence to go after what I want. Still haven't figured out what exactly it is I am going to be doing, but that time will come.

There is something missing that I cannot put my finger on however. It confuses me, but I know that at some point it will fall into place. Crazy shit happens when you least expect it. We all have experienced that moment when something or someone pops in and changes your life. It can be positive or negative, but just know that for some reason it happened. Even if you have to let whatever it was go, you move on to bigger and better things. Sometimes you may not want to, and sometimes you just don't have a choice. You just keep on keepin on.....

I have had writer's block recently, but I will leave you with a quote:
