If you knew how much work went into it, you would not call it genius. – Michelangelo
This quote came to mind yesterday as I was at the horse races watching the excitement of the race and feeling the exhilaration that goes with it. I observed this moment when a horse wins and the excitement that surrounds and how it all looks so easy. This winning moment just like a work of art or final product like a great movie, is the completion of something which took so much effort and many trials and errors. It is easy to be a spectator and think, I want that. I want to win. I want to create something great, yet when it’s time to do the work we make excuses and put in half the effort. This 30 day challenge is such a great gift I have given myself. In the midst of my sisters visit or a busy weekend, my commitment is my commitment. It means something and I feel stronger for owning it and recognizing the significance of my word and more importantly the work of art that I am creating.
You can always find support to stay the same because people ultimately are afraid of failing so it’s easier to not try and to remain the same. And if everyone remains the same then no one has to feel uncomfortable for what they are not striving for. So just look around you and notice if you are being supported to be your highest self or sitting in a place where fear is running your life. It’s never to late to change and make a commitment to do better. You have what it takes. Go out and shine today.
Today I am grateful for the opportunity to surf as often as I want. I am grateful for the gifts of the ocean which brings me so much joy.
