Very inspiring story !
i also started making a change in my life not too long ago, I also started working out daily after work and have managed to do it on daily basis 6 days a week for more then a month by now. Hopefully i will continue this journey and make a change not just for me but to show my family also im more dedicated!
i think by being able to be more disciplined in a positive way, you will also influence others positively somehow.
That’s great! Keep it up. Proving to yourself that you can remain dedicated to your goals creates an amazing feeling. And I think, as you said, that it really can have positive effects on the people who are near you.
