It always
seems impossible until it’s done.
Nelson
Mandela
A mile, 5K, 10K,
half marathon, marathon, ultra-marathon, “oh, I could never do that”, that is
until you put one foot in front of the other and just get started and before
you know it you are at that mile marker, or finish line and starting to wonder,
what's next? What am I capable of? (We
typically only go to 40% of what we are truly capable of-David Goggins)
A journey of
1000 miles starts with the first step. (Lao Tzu) Just get started and
divine Providence will intervene, and magical things will happen. Whether it be
marathons and ultra- marathons or in the ultra-marathon of life, overcoming
that resistance (Steven Pressfield-Do the Work) is the first hurdle. The
mind is perfectly capable of talking us out of anything, “that is impossible,
you can't do that” and poof all too often we believe ourselves and that's the
end of that fleeting thought, good intentions or our dreams. It's just like
getting in the cold shower, at first it's a little shocking, and then before
you know it, it's like, “hey this feels pretty good”. Believe in the impossible.
Believe in yourself.
