3. @fitwhiskeygirl is #fitspo goals

Doing your best is more important than being the best. This is a tough one to remember some days, isn’t it? I’ve wanted to be the best since I was 5 years old, dammit! 😜 Now older (41), wiser and with lots of good, bad and ugly life experience, I live by you vs. you. Don’t get caught up in comparing yourself to anyone. It’s a sure fire way to feel less than – and just as bad – to feel better than the next person. Fuck that! So focus on your side of the street and what you can control. Day by day. Choice by choice. Keep it simple, mind your own business, work hard and stay strong. ❤💪🏼 . . . . . . . #keepitsimple #doyourbest #youvsyou #strongisbeautiful #strongereveryday #fitnesstrainer #fitgirlsinspire #arms #workharder #fitnessbody #strongbody #lululemon photo cred :: @jordanquinnphoto
