Michael had been working hard on his fitness goals. Day in and day out, he would do what almost every fitness instructor and influencer suggests, track his calories, get 8 hours of sleep, and eat a lot of protein for recovery. From the first day he started to the now 2 months later, Michael has seen steady, but slow progress. Somedays, Michael would find himself uninterested and struggling to leave his house to get to the gym, but outside of a few missed days, he would always show up to his workout with his buddy Jack.

Michael knew he was making progress, but he wanted to meet his goals faster and the slow progress was beginning to discourage him. At one point during his fitness journey, Michael came to a crossroads. After missing the gym for 3 days in a row, he found himself falling out of his daily routine and slipping into his previous unhealthy lifestyle. That night, Michael sought advice from his best friend and gym buddy, Jack. 

After a lengthy conversation with Jack, one line stood out the most to Michael, "Rome wasn't built in a day". This lit a fire under Michael and he was back at his routine the next day. His workout buddy Jack was able to motivate and help Michael realize that anything worth doing takes time, especially working towards your goals.
