onto today’s topic: friends that push you ⛰️
this isn’t about how i literally got pushed to the ground yesterday in front of a high school tour group on campus. 😭
if you want to keep growing and learning, you need friends that will force it on you when you don’t feel like continuing. there will undoubtedly be times when you’re not enough to motivate or persuade yourself — you need friends or mentors that understand the importance of pushing past your pre-established limits.
admittedly, i never really hit back/biceps in the gym, so when i impulsively agreed to join my friend at the gym, i had no idea what hell was waiting for me.
the first rep of practically any exercise was hard, and if i was by myself, i probably would have lowered the weight until i was just somewhat challenged. nope, i was forced to take on 30 more pounds than i would have stacked for myself. 😵💫 it sucked, but i’ll begrudgingly admit that it was satisfying to surpass my own expectations.
if you can’t do the hard things, find friends that will make you — the same way you’ll push your friends to succeed as well.
the best accountability systems are built within strong communities.
