Impetuous Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hi allIve been reading NF for a while now and today is the day i start getting my own campaign off the ground!So whats my current status? Well Im 26, live in Durban, South Africa. Ive always been that skinny kid growing up and always into sports. Now I am a full time tennis coach, studying part time and gaming when i can.So why do i want to level up? Well Ive always just been ok with doing averagely well, ok grades in school and never putting myself whole heartedly into what I do. But last year i hit a rough patch that shook me awake from just doing enough, and ive been looking for a way forward since. My job is amazing, I get to work with kids from age 5 up to adults and retired people looking to get some tips on their game. Its a passion that has not let up since the first day i started almost 5 years ago. But helping others make you look at yourself at the end of the day. and im not satisfied with just the easy route anymore. I want to show myself what Im capable of personally and see what i can achieve physically and become stronger mentally through it. I have always struggled to get fitter because i like to follow set rules and strategy and then losing heart half way through when I cant follow them exactly. But Steve's bruce Lee article really challenged me to pick my own way through and stop making excuses and keep making small changes that matter even if they may turn out to be wrong later.My goals are pretty simple I want to be able to hand stand, get fit endurance wise and get into strength training which ive never done before. Maybe get up to doing a 25km marathon next year and or a half Iron man. And generally push the limts.Thanks for reading my intro.Cheers 3 Quote If you wont give up anything, you wont change anything Link to comment
Chris-Tien Jinn Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Welcome to the Rebellion!!! I think the most frequent barrier I hear is that people give up because they can't follow their plan perfectly. Once you get beyond that and concentrate on just doing BETTER today, you're golden. 1 Quote Level 63 Human ...
