“ If you think you can or you think you cannot you are probably right” Henry Ford.
I love this quote.
I am always struck by ancient explorers whom without the use of todays google maps (:-)) circumnavigated the globe, found their way back to base camp and numerous other success stories we can all recall where people simply overcame all odds.
What can seem daunting -(fill in your own blank) - #LaBola #mallorca( for me at the time ) for example - is simply a case of putting one foot in front of the other- that was my personal chant as I ground my way up the mountain.
What ever you choose you to do - choose to push yourself - even if you feel like you may not make it - make up your mind that you will. Envisage crossing the finish line and what it will feel like.
These sports events are a great way of putting lifes challenges into perspective and whilst most of the time some of us may feel like we are not ready or not trained enough- do them anyway- it makes you appreciate what other things you may be cable of doing that perhaps you thought you could not.
Next year I know what to expect and I have something to definitely beat!
