Not Good Enough

Right now, I am weak and not the fastest or brightest guy.
I can't even bench what I did in high school, nor run as fast or as long as I used to.
I lack in many fields.
I need to be stronger, faster, smarter, and have better reflexes.
The stronger, faster and smarter I become, the better I will be able to do my job when it comes.
I need to develop quick reflexes and be able to react to sudden events and attend to them accordingly and appropriately in a efficient manner.
I know what I have to do. And I must put more effort into doing this in the upcoming year and years to come. I am running on what feels like borrowed time, and have been for a while. These next three years, I need to up the anti on my physical fitness because three years is all I have until its go time.
I ask for help. Ask that you push me. Shove me. Throw weights on me. Help me make my self better. Not just physically, but in all aspects. I know I lack Bible knowledge. I don't say the smartest things or do the right things all the time. I still have much to learn.

I feel like I need to live my life in these next three years.

Dude, sometimes, it's not about reaching the goal but all about the process of getting there.

Your writing has gotten better as you've grown up!

You know God is proud of you. :) Don't be content with where you are though and push yourself to be the best you can be in all areas.

The sermon was good today and I hope you feel challenged by Pastor Laing's message. May God's words fill your mind and shape you and motivate you.

"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals."
- Zig Ziglar

Reflexes are taught through repetition.
Speed is about efficiency and endurance.
Bench weight is irrelevant to reality - since you are rarely placed in a position where you only use those isolated muscle groups.

You'll get there in time, David. But don't forget to train your mental/emotional/spiritual side either.
