Improvements

Just wanted to take a moment to celebrate everyone; you all are already half way through week 3! That's almost to 25% of the cycle! Take a moment and think about where you started, what was the hardest thing for you on day 1. Maybe you couldn't do a single pull-up and now you can do 1 or 2. Maybe it was running, it took you 15 minutes to run a mile, now you can do it in 11 minutes. Maybe you had trouble remembering poomsaes or self-defenses and now you can do them with ease. Wherever you started, look at where you are now, because I doubt there is a single one of you who hasn't improved on anything. Pat yourself on the back, be proud of how far you have come. Because without the celebrating the small victories how will you know when you have achieved the big ones. ~ Peyton
