I first saw this commercial during the Olympics late at night and I burst into tears. It touched me, it spoke to me and for the first time in awhile I had felt proud of myself of the changes Ive made no matter how big or small its been. To see 12 year old Nathan Sorrell who weights 200lbs jogging at his own pace trying to do better for himself is inspiring. Ive gotten beaten up mentally during my Insanity workouts, hating that I can't do as many V-push ups like the fitness models, or as many high jumps before my shin starts hurting. And then I watched this video, and I remembered whether its 1 set of globe jumps or 10 ski jumps its more than I started with, its more movement Ive done in some time. There's others who complain about their weight/ figure but not do anything about it, but I am! And like Nathan here, we may be starting slow but its faster than the next one sitting on the couch. No matter if I've lost a pound or gained it back up, Ive come a long way and feel no sense in stopping now. If I can do this much now the possibilities are endless for me in the future.
"Because greatness is not in one special place, and it is not in one special person. Greatness is wherever somebody is trying to find it".
... And I'm finding my greatness.
