Ever wonder why just at the time you are making big changes or going through some amazing expansion, something comes up that slows you down or makes you want to put on the breaks on your amazing new life.
It's the old you with the disbelief that your life could possibly get any better or the naysayers in your head and the doubting Thomas that are trying to keep you small instead of grand and the excellent being that you are inside.
Well I've been there and I know what it feels like to say 'what next' or it's just not happening the way I want or need. But it's at those very moments when having someone who sheds light on the many possibilities that are now opening up for you that will assist you in moving to the next level very quickly.
I know when I was going the gym to shed those last 10lbs and wanting to get back in to my size 8 clothes it was nice to have a trainer who reminded me of my vision for myself and who did not let me give-up before my vision of wearing a swimsuit on the beach manifested.
Have you ever decided to run a race or a 10k or 20k walk, aren't there always those key spots where you know you will just want to give up and walk of the path. Isn't it nice that with the knowing, you continue to walk or run the race until you reach the finish line. What an amazing feeling when you cross that line. The feeling of self-accomplishment, the joy and the exhilaration.
I leave you with this poem:
Don't Quitr
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer thanr
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given upr
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are -
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
