Sometimes, you gain motivation from where you least expect it.
Just came back from a group cycling session at the gym. The workout comprised of a variety of (imaginary) flat terrains and hill climbs coupled with some anaerobic intervals driven by music (some typical hit songs that can be heard in any gym). Heard the instructor utter some sentences that I translated into some important life lessons..
"Music is going to slow down. Maintain your rythm. Test your limits; don't be fooled by the music."
--> There will be a time in your life wherein everything would seem to have slowed down (read "stability"). This isn't the time to relax. It's the time to work harder.
"This is for you, Guys! I hope we remain friends at the end of this session"
--> In life, you'll meet people who would appear to have come in your life to hurt you. Actually, they come in your life for some reason. It's for your own good.
"Don't stop if the music stops. The songs will end, but the steep slope of the imaginary hill you're riding your bike on, wouldn't suddenly disappear. Keep going !.."
--> Need I say more? :)
