"you don't need to be better than any one else you just need to be better than you used to be"
— Wayne W. Dyer
It we strive to be our best and do our best then there is nothing more we can ask of ourselves. We are constantly evolving and growing. The moment we become stagnant is the moment to ask yourself, what are you afraid of? Most of the time the answer is failure. We don't want to fail. We don't want to be embarrassed. We don't want to ........, you fill in the blank. Whatever is stopping you from moving forward is in your head. You can do anything you set your mind to.
I just proved to myself I could go the distance. I was on the Precor for 2 hours straight and that is something I never thought I could do. But you know what, little by little I got there. I think that is the story of life, little by little you will get there. You just have to put the little in. People was to go from A to Z without the other letters but the reality is that you need the whole alphabet. you need the journey to be able to appreciate the destination. So whatever it is your striving for, you will get there. Don't give up, just put in little by little.
Today I am grateful for my legs, that I can run and move about freely.
I have been living inside a cocoon of fear and failure. Failure to achieve some monetary goal, some material goal and believing all the while that success will somehow give me an identity, a sense of peace and some semblance of happiness. I do know one thing, something has to be the catalyst for change within me, even if it is just a small step beyond this egoic existence. I will strive to no longer feel defined by my failures and to see the the light in nature, in myself and in others around me. I will strive to enjoy the journey....
