Make Yourself.

Nike ran an ad campaign awhile back called Make Yourself. Each ad has a famous, female athlete working out and the words "Make Yourself ____". Each fill-in-the-blank has a different word: Fit, Strong, Shine are the three that I've collected so far. Here's a group shot of the 7 athletes. These ladies look AMAZING!

I think they did a great job with the wording. Whoever came up with it should get a raise...as I'm sure they did. LOL. Anywho...I love the idea that you can make yourself whatever you wish to be, because in a sense, you really can...if you're willing to work for it.

If you want to be fit, you have to work for it.
If you want to be strong, you have to work for it.
If you want to shine, you have to work for it. 

I, my friends, want to be fit, strong, and shining.

And that's why I work out.

Not because I like sweating dripping down my body.
Not because I like gasping for breath after a run.
Not because I like the sore muscles the next day.
Not because I like the pain I get in my side.
Not because I like lacing up my tennies.

But because, I want to be fit, strong, and shining.
