Inch by inch.

It seems that everyday as I enter the pool I dread the ensuing pain a little bit less, and everyday as I exit the pool I realize I have swam a little bit further.  As the days get easier and the pool gets more inviting, I realize that day by day and inch by inch I am getting healthier and more focused on the year to come.  I have many things with which to focus on, a senior campaign for the mighty Razorbacks, a degree, a job, but the one thing that I set my compass to each and everyday is what I did the day before, and what I can do tomorrow.   One thought enters my mind as a crawl into bed after a long day, what did I accomplish today?  Just as the night before, each morning that I summon the strength to crawl out of bed one thought enters my mind, what can I do better today?  Thoughts come and thoughts go, just as quickly motivation can come and go.  What will you set your compass to today?  Who will you chase, follow, idolize, mimic? Today I strive to be better, but not better compared to another person, just a better me.  Challenge yourself today, take risks, leave nothing left!
