"Behind every success story is a lot of sweat"

... is what I read from a magazine today. I probably haven't bought a magazine since... January? mainly because from January I became unemployed and there was no point even teasing myself by buying into the latest fashion or beauty styles. I have realised that making yourself beautiful is already a ton of $. Gym costs, new clothes, latest skin care range & make-up, lots of sleep [where you could argue time lost = money lost, since time = money (so they say)].
So I bought Madison, which I never do... it's not usually my first preference but I wanted to relax tonight for the first time with some 'material that doesn't challenge me' reading. I sat on my sofa and read a line which I re-read a few more times until it did begin to challenge me.

Why am I blogging about it? I guess I am blogging about it almost like a 'note to self' kind of thing. I think that I want to achieve success to various areas in my life, but I can frankly say that although I may have started to work, I am in no way closer to my goals. Maybe I think the more I dream about the end point, it'll happen naturally but as this line read in my magazine tonight... no way. I haven't even begun to work up that sweat yet.

Just do it.

..... suddenly comes to mind.
