I know. Kardashian. Popular, and at the same time, not so popular, but doesn’t everyone have a favorite Kardashian? Yeah. That’s what I thought. For me The Kardashians have been the lamest thing pop culture has going. I’ve watched the show. I’ve seen them interviewed on talk shows, but it seems I’ve missed one. (Like I would know – there are just too many of them.)
Today Khloe was on The Talk. I wasn’t interested, bent my head back to my work, then picked it back up again. She was actually a cool person. I began listening. From the conversation she seemed kind-hearted and very down to earth. I loved what she said about exercise when they asked her how she stays so beautiful. She says she works out 4 times a week because she loves to eat. She wants to eat everything she enjoys, but knows she has to work for that. She said it’s hard to do, but as soon you see a muscle appear on one side, you get excited and want to see if you can make one appear on the other side – it’s fun!
Fun? Someone just said exercise is fun? Funny that she would say it just as I was about to climb out of my chair to go for my workout. Driving to Koko Fit Club, I thought about what she said. That’s it exactly. Once you persist at something and begin to see a teeny little result, you get doubly inspired and pursue it even harder. Exercise does work that way for me. One little quarter inch of room in my jeans or one iota more energy and I’m running back for more. Of course, it takes weeks to see the first tinge of success, but we can’t lose sight that it’s there.
So, whatever’s bumming you out right now, don’t quit. Even if it seems like you’ve been trying forever, the first teeny sign of success will appear. Give it time. And, like Khloe’s exercise – it might be fun!
And so, as another day goes by, when things get tough, get out the glitter and throw a handful in the air, and…I have written.
