“You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to start to be great.”
The media calls me super-human because I ran across America. I ran a marathon a day for 100 consecutive days from California to New York City. That’s 26 miles a day without a day off.
Here is the wild part. I wasn’t a runner just one year before I ran across America. I didn’t exercise, I wasn’t training, and I wasn’t an athlete of any kind.
In just one year … I totally changed my life.
So my question to you is … In one-year, what will your life be like?
What stops you from starting and being successful? There are many other things that creates resistance to starting something new.
Will this work? Will it make me money? Will I look silly? What if it doesn’t work out? What if my friends or family find out and they think it is silly?
These are just a few of the questions that will be in the deeps of our mind when we start something new. It all boils down to a couple of things.
Do I want it bad enough?
Do I believe in myself enough?
If you want it bad enough, you will find a way. You’ll push through the resistance, right yourself when you stumble, and pick yourself up when you fall.
If you believe in yourself enough, it won’t matter if others doubt you or criticize you. It may still bother you or upset you in the moment, but you will keep moving forward. Because you will know that you are on the right path. Your path. Creating a life that you want to live.
If you want it bad enough and you believe in yourself, it is just a matter of time before you will be living the life that you want to live, accomplish your goals and live the life that you want to live. Frankly, the life you should be living and deserve to live.
Here is something I believe … Playing small sucks.
Holding back sucks. Plying it safe, sucks. Knowing that you could be doing more, but you’re not, that really sucks.
Because you have a untapped power in you. When you tap into that inner-power, you will be Unstoppable.
