No one wants to work for what they have, to achieve a goal. No one wants to step outside of the house and go for a long run and sweat. Everybody wants to run inside the house, the treadmill. They want to trim up a little excess body fat, but they don't want to diet and train. Go straight to the lipo and whatever else they do. The easy way out.

As an athlete, it's very important to have an open mind and to be willing to learn.

God values you simply because He created you. You are precious to Him, and your value will never change.
