One thing is for sure, there are always challenges in life. Challenges that we did not even know may have been a issue a week ago, but they are now. You never know what life if going to bring. But one thing is for sure, it is always better with somebody…somebody who was meant to be with you. The challenges always seem smaller when I have Sarah around. We have been married since 1990. It took some figuring out over time, but we both came to the eventual conclusion this was “meant to be”. We all have those days when we truly wonder how much more can we take from this day.
Some days it really makes you wonder! But it is important to remember that over the long term challenges can help define you.
Not only how far you can go on your own, but for me, it is also how far I can go through life with Sarah!
We spend time together, run together, worry about each, support each other…bottom line, we were meant to be together. There are those moments when I may not always listen and do what I am supposed to do. Of course, Sarah is there to help remind me as well!
Do it, or suffer the consequences! Ha Ha! Just kidding! But challenges definitely make life interesting.
Exactly! Once we then figure this out, we can deals with those challenges, and grow from it as well. Many times then you will find that these challenges make you stronger, and even better than you were before by being able to conquer it. It definitely goes that way for running for me too. You are always facing new challenges/goals, and you keeping pushing the bar. Then you accomplish that challenge/goal, and are ready to move onto the next! Never quit trying. That is how you find out what you are made of!
You look around and think that what you see is as far as you can go. Then you take a little bit broader look at the situation, and see a way that you can go past what you thought you couldn’t before.
Open up your “view” of things, and like in this image, the dock is there and you can go “out further than you could before”! Same principle when it comes to every day life. Open up your view to take it all in!
Are you prepared to change? Are you willing to take control of your own health? Are you willing to put in the time and effort by exercising and eating better? You decide. You are in charge. How far do you want to go? Are you going to sit around and feel sorry for yourself, and or are you going to do something about it? You decide…but as a famous line in a one of the Indiana Jones movies goes: “Choose wisely!” Keep moving everybody!
