Find a way
- I was recently listening to an interview with the swimmer Diana Nyad about her epic swim from Cuba to Florida. She said her mantra that got her through the challenge to do the swim was "Find a way"! It struck me that I can use that to achieve my dream because I will get there if I find a way.
Find a way to get out of bed and run every morning, find a way to make healthy choices when eating challenges present themselves, find a way not to make the scale a god, find a way to love myself even when I don,t believe I can, find away to live in the now and not in what was or could be.
Find a way. Yes it is that hard and that simple. Life constantly throws down the gauntlet. Now is the time to find a way to pick it up and move forward. I believe I will do just that.
Your recent posts have touched my soul. Our life experiences are so similar; we must be soul mates. I too have a history of struggles w/ weight issues, self deprecation ,listening to the "scale god", and searching for the "quick fix". I have prayed about it for years railing against my inability to succeed. Excuses sounded plausible . But I have finally realized if I but use my support AND do what I need to do
ReplyDelete(Cont.) I can finally get what I want. I am adopting the mantra you mentioned. I need to Find a Way. Thank you for your honesty. I see a glimmer of hope. I must "find a way" to fan these embers to create a flame to light the way. Today I am Finding Yes. I am grateful for the angels who are lighting the way and cheering me on!
