"Women Can't Do This"

"Don't worry, women can't do that."

This was a very triggering end to a conversation I had with a stranger at the gym that helped me develop a goal-setting muscle I am grateful for to this day.

One sunny day I was visiting the gym trying to stay on top of my fitness. I passed this older gentleman doing pull-ups and honestly making them look super easy. I stopped to compliment him (which already made my introvert side cringe). I said "wow you make that look so easy" and his response was "it's easy for men, but don't worry women can't really do this."

Anyone who knows me knows I HATE when someone tells me I can't do something. I walked away to avoid saying what was on my mind and immediately ordered a pull-up bar for my house. It came about two days later thanks to Amazon prime and my brother immediately installed it for me. In my mind, I convinced myself that if I could learn to do five pull-ups I would be able to prove him wrong, haha.

Anyway because the pull-up bar was attached to my door every single time I left out of my room I would jump up and practice a few pull-ups....by the end of January I had learned how to do 5 without the struggle.

Since then I have moved the pull up bar (bc honestly I was tired of not being able to close my door) and to be real I haven't done one since, but I am going to get back to it I promise because the greatest lesson this experience taught me was to ALWAYS keep my goals in front of me and take inspired action!

What are you doing to keep your goals in the forefront of your mind?
