The hamstring muscles are some of the biggest muscles we have.
Tearing a hamstring can have anywhere from a mild to devastating impact.

Posted three times here at jungle jeff yesterday. This may not be today’s final post either. I hope you feel energized today. It’s your responsibility.

Perseverance is a habit. You either do it all the time, or you don’t do it at all.
And once you learn the habit of never giving up, you will also learn the habit of focusing on your purpose.
And when you finally discover your purpose, well, you know what happens next….
