The Countdown!
You’re almost there. Keep it
up. The finish line is a visible and an attainable
goal. Now it’s time to dig deep and pull
out all the stops.
I have run 5 marathons in my life
and it is astonishing how after running 26 miles, there is always a fresh
supply of strength left to push you through the last .2 miles to the finish. Just when you think you are totally depleted
and can’t take another step, the realization of a reachable goal brings forth a
new surge of energy and makes crossing the finish line a reality. Each time it’s an amazing feeling to actually
DO IT! Those last few yards you run
faster and you push harder. You get to experience the thrill of victory!
It’s curious how your mind
questions success. Throughout a long
race like that, your mind wonders if you will finish. Questions like, “Why did I sign up for this
anyway? What am I trying to prove? What
am I really seeking?” begin to creep up. Can you relate to those types of
questions racing through your mind as you near the end of this 30 Day
Challenge?
Whenever you push yourself towards
a new goal, your mind will begin to sabotage your commitment – it will try to psyche
you out of completing the task. Even
though you know you have been successful in the past, your head keeps
questioning your ability to win!
The shadows of self doubt creep in at every level of your
progress – you are constantly confronted by them. Simultaneously, the lighter side of your heart
and soul lead you to understand that “Yes, you can really do this! If you put one foot in front of the other you can
make it across the finish line!” In the
end, the act of accomplishing the goal is the victory, not when you get
there or how you got there. The bottom
line is you will soon say, “I have arrived!”
And I encourage you
to feel your arrival right now! Visualize and imagine
it, feel it, taste it. This is last leg
of your marathon; you only have .2 miles left on your journey to reach your
Personal Best. Your true arrival is just around the bend. This challenge has made you reflect on your
behaviors and helped you decide which ones to keep and which ones to
discard. You have created new habits and
directed your body, mind and soul towards health, wealth, fitness and expanded
awareness. Now it’s time to dig deep and
pull out the last remnants of your strength.
You have carved out a road toward success. You have arrived!
Quote for the day:

changing – you are choosing.”
