You always have plans,
But it never goes as planned.
You may look really good at first
But you will fail.
You may get that last rep in or hit a max,
Just as you may reach a milestone.
But you will fail.
You will feel helpless at times
And look like crap.
Sometimes you will enjoy every moment
And other times you will just want to give up.
But what really what matters in the end
Is the journey.
The journey you took to get there.
That last rep got you that promotion,
That sweat dripping is your hard work seeping.
That helplessness taught you a lesson.
And as you walk out of that gym,
Know you lived a good one through.
