My trainers banished certain words
in their presence.
Josh (my first trainer ever) outlawed
the word “can't.” Greg taught me not to constantly apologize . So, at least in the gym, I rarely say "sorry" or let my trainees say it.
I'm working on “should” now.
Not the explicit “should” but the voice
in my head that constantly criticizes…you know the one…
“you should be…
better
or faster or braver…
you
"should” be
able to finish or accomplish much more…"
This critic inside me doesn't ever help
me with yes.
Who can be inspired or inspiring if
they feel small and pathetic?
I may never be faster or better or
smarter or braver.
But I am inspired and I know I'm
living proof that miracles happen.
