38 days!
"Where there is no struggle, there is no strength." Oprah Winfrey
Cassie has told me many times that "Rome was not built in a day." There is so much I want to learn, experience and build. One of my goals for 2010 was to at least hit the gym 4-5 times a week. Cassie and I have been doing great meeting this goal. Its just every time I am in the gym I push myself to far. The fiery competition burns ever so brightly once I walk into the gym. I get this its me against the other guys and I'll have the best workout today. I played college football and lifting weights every day was routine. I lifted heavy weights, over and over and over. That investment in my body was vast. Now fast forwarding to 2010 and not lifting for almost 3 years the struggle and adversity is there. The muscle memory is there to push myself hard but the body is telling me, "Your recovery needs more time." My body is forcing me to set a goal for the wedding deadline but also to set daily goals to hit. My body will be stronger with time but I am wanting results now, now, and now. For something that came so easy for years I forgot how hard it took to get to the top.
Currently, I am exploring my options for the next step with a professional career but I am wanting results now, now, and now. Planning the wedding is full of the tiniest of detail which will make the wedding but learning patience and knowing that in 38 days the wedding will be here and 38 days feels long. The wisdom that I am learning from my significant other is priceless. The struggle that is patience is guided by Cassie's strength to say, " Rome was not built in a day!" I can't wait to learn every little detail about my future wife. If it takes a lifetime to learn then I can't wait and I'll keep my pencil sharpened.
