I don't FEEL like working out today. I don't FEEL like running. I don't FEEL like pushing myself to and past my limits today.
I FEEL like coming home straight after work today. Its double XP weekend in City Of Heroes. What I FEEL like doing is coming home, ordering a pizza and playing video games tonight.
But what I FEEL like doing isn't important. My goals are important. I'm going to sprint, and I'm going to sweat, and turn red, and get out of breath, and push myself to my highest because that will help me meet my goals.
People say you can't base your relationship with God on feelings. That's true about so many things. You can't give up on your goals because at the moment you don't feel like doing what it takes. You just have to do it, knowing you'll feel proud and accomplished that you did what was right, even if you didn't feel like it.
So, I'm going to strap on my running shoes, pack my t-shirt and polar heart rate monitor, and go back to work. And when I get that cable made that I'm working on, I'm going to change, and go do some sprints. I'm going to sprint hard, motivated by the fact that my feelings don't control me. Because I'm stronger and wiser than my emotions.
And only then will I come home and save Paragon City.
