This week was a busy one--lots of work, many family/friend obligations, and very little sleep. In addition, someone gifted me an extremely resilient cold that I chose to try to ignore by continuing on and completing a pre-planned 5K race and keeping a Sunday morning running date with a friend. So here I sit on Sunday night without a completed blog (I haven't missed one in months), but torn because I really do need to get some rest so I can tackle the new week--how do I do it all?
Solution...make it short and sweet. So I decided to include the Tough Mudder photo to the left because, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I feel this photo says more than, "Michelle is afraid of heights." Everyday we are faced with challenges: unhealthy food, schedules that make it difficult to exercise, stress that causes us to make unhealthy choices. I could have climbed down the other side of that 20 foot platform and avoided my fear of heights--but I decided to face my fears and just go for it. Make today the day you, too, face your fears, your challenges, that voice in your head that tells you you can't do it...just go for it. These two quotes say it all for me:
Accept challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. George S. Patton
Anything unattempted remains impossible. Unknown Author
Face your challenges head on because if you never start, you will never experience the feeling of accomplishing something you thought was unattainable.
