I will now share a story of mine that I‘m really proud of and I hope it will stir up something inside the readers😄
Back in 2022 I was living a rather sad life. It was still during the Plandemic. Due to my beliefs and Convictions, that didn‘t fit with others, I had lost all of my „Friends“ but one.
And the one Friend I had left had a busy time Schedule, so we didn‘t meet too often.
So there I was, 22 years old, 1 friend, no girlfriend, with lots of time and nothing worth doing.
I would spend most days coming home from work, sleeping, eating, gaming and sleeping again, just to repeat that the next day.
Then one day I saw an old childhood friend of mine post a picture of a fighting gym on his Snapchat. Because I was desperately looking to do something and also to maybe get some friends again, I wrote to him and asked him about the gym and if I could join there.
In the end I ended up joining this fighting gym and I finally had something to do again. I did boxing and Muay Thai.
At the beginning it was really hard for me, because I hadn‘t really trained that hard at all and all of a sudden I started this new training and it was a big challenge for me.
After some adjusting I started enjoying this training. I was making new friends there and I was really giving it my all.
On most days I did 2 Training sessions, so Boxing for an hour and Muay Thai for 1 hour and a half right after that.
I was finally coming back to an actual life🙂
Then the pivotal moment came. 2 friends from there, including that one of my childhood friends asked me if I wanted to go do some jogging. And I remember the date: it was the 18th of October 2022
I accepted the invitation and we met near a forest to go jogging inside it. And for me it was after a full day of work.
We did some light warm up and then we started the jogging. (I have to mention that at time I was training already, but I wasn‘t doing it for a long time and I would never do jogging😄)
My 2 friends were going in a rather fast pace and I was matching their speed and then after only 300m….I started to fatigue and my sides started hurting and I was barely catching my breath.
300Meters!!!
I just kept going though. I struggled so hard and I could only breathe through my mouth. My feet were starting to hurt because my shoes sucked but I kept going.
Then after struggling for 3.5 km I was reaching my end. We were out of the forest and reached a small field and then I told my friends: „We are done right??“
Hahah I was so wrong. They said no we are turning around and doing another 3.5 km.
Now just imagine me in this situation. I‘m already so beat. My feet hurt, my legs hurt, I can barely catch my breath, and they wanna go another 3.5 km. 
And worst of all, it was in Fall Season and it started to get dark.
Dark forests are no joke, and there was literally no other way back than to walk through the forest, back to our cars.
So there was no choice in the matter. Either keep jogging with my friends or walking back which would take more than double the time and would ensure that I have to go through the dark. And I‘m pretty sure I had no phone with me, because I didn’t listen to music.
All these thoughts went through my head in a matter of seconds and I had to make a choice, so I turned back with them and kept jogging.
The first half before turning around was a pure and conscious struggle. The second half was different….
Imagine you are at your absolute limit. Thoughts are racing through your head, everything hurts and you just want to give up and stop. You wanna do it so badly but the body is still going. It is still moving even though in your head you wish to stop.
In the second half, my body was so tired and hurt that I entered some sort of flow state. I had no thoughts. They were just gone. 0 thoughts.
It was just me, my friends, the forest, and my legs. Nothing else.
I was so locked in. And I kept going and going and going.
I made 3 more Km. Then the last 400 Meters were up. I left the „Zone“ and was back in my head. This time my mind had won. I slowed down and I intended to stop.
I slowed down..more and more and more.
But then came my friend from behind and took my arm and dragged me with him.
„YOU CAN‘t STOP NOW, WE ARE ALMOST DONE, CMON KEEP GOING KEEP GOING“
Then booooom. He lit up a fire inside of me. I picked myself up and gave it one last push. That push kept me going, but I wanted to end it quickly, so after more than 6.5 KM I started semi-sprinting. I literally went faster rather than slower.
I left my friends behind and just kept moving forward. No break, just forward.
Then came the glorious moment.
I made it.
I FUCKING MADE IT.
7KILOMETERS DONE! And this even though I was fucked at 300meters already and wanted to give up there.
You cannot imagine the type of Euphoria I had at this moment. And I swear, that this Achievement changed the whole trajectory of my life.
„I did it“ I kept repeating to myself „I did it, I did it“ I couldn‘t believe it.
7 kilometers in about 50 Minutes.
After this day something inside me has changed. I don‘t know how many Demons I destroyed in my mind but I‘m sure it were many haha.
I started taking better care of myself and after this started the classic Self-Improvement Journey.
I will now share one picture I had taken at the Chiropractor 1 day before this Event.
This was me at about 88KG on 17th of October.
The jogging experience gave me such an incredible boost in my confidence and the Mindset of“ If I was able to do that, then I can do anything“
And here I will share a picture 3 months after on 16th of January 2023
This was my most profound transformation. After just 3 months I looked like someone else. My body had transformed through sheer effort and dedication and the strong will behind it. „I can do it“
Well If I could do it then why not you aswell🙂
