Let me say this. We are not defined by what we think. We are defined by what we do. Character is what people see us do, or not do. They call it acting for a reason. Action is required to define ourselves. If we are inactive, perhaps a new way to look at it is, this gives us more than enough room for self definition. Just because we have done nothing to this point, doesn't mean we are not capable of it. It just means we are stuck in the preginning.
If you are here, then this is where you begin making the effort to change your behavior. Changing your behavior begins with changing thinking that doesn't work for you anymore. It doesn't mean you are a freak, or a loser or incapable. It just means that there is a time and season for everything. People understand things when they are ready to. Sometimes we have to hear and see things over and over again before it finally clicks.
If like me, you have a challenge to do something you have not done before; don't think you are going to do it all at once. I was never going to run a 5k that first day. I knew that. But I did go 2.6 miles, which was more than I had done in years! I did run, a few steps here, up a hill, down a hill, seconds at time. But the point is... I RAN! And I am still working at it. After one week, I have shaved 15 minutes off my original time. I can run more steps and not ache all over afterward. It's finally starting to feel good!
There is hope, if you have the desire to change (anything on your life) you CAN!
