Chip Away Everything That's Not

When Michelangelo was asked how he made the famous statue of David, he replied that he "chipped away the stone that didn't look like David". This picture stuck with me all day, and this quote was one of the first that came to mind. In a way, this will be a motivator for me as I go about the next week of diet/exercise (or probably two weeks at least). If it only it were so simple though! If only it were so simple that we could just chip away (or build) to get to where we want ourselves to be.

Keep this in mind. We already are the person that we want to be. I'd argue that it's already inside of us and all we need to do is put in the work to find it. I know I'll be reflecting back on this when it's time to get to work, and I encourage you to think about this or whatever it is that drives you to get exactly to where you want to be.
