Monday Motivation #9 (Mirna Valerio)

I find this woman incredibly inspiring.

Not because she doesn’t conform to traditional, preconceived notions of what it means to be an athlete.

But because she is unafraid to pursue her passion despite what anybody else might think. We spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think of us. This constant, invisible pressure to be accepted stops many of us from pursuing dreams. The fear that they might scoff at us if they only knew the depth of our ambition.

Mirna don’t give a shit. Mirna does Mirna ’cause Mirna knows the only person at the end of the day she is accountable to is Mirna.

Channel your inner Mirna this week. Push the haters and self-doubt out of your mind and chase your dream.
