Mantra Monday

We all have dreams, goals and ambitions for ourselves; ideas of what we'd like to do in life or how our future will turn out. Yet for some reason many of these aspirations seem unlikely or impossible. The other day I was laying in bed and really felt like doing absolutely nothing. I was lazy and tired, but mostly just lazy. Although my bed was so comfortable I decided I was going to get up and go run a mile; so at least part of my day would have been semi productive. I laced up my shoes, went down to the gym, hopped on a treadmill and just started running. Upbeat music played from my phone and I just stared straight ahead waiting for that one simple mile to be over. 40 minutes and 4.5 miles later I ended my run. I hadn't planned on going for that long or that far nor did I think I was capable of doing so. I had been holding myself back. There was no one telling me I couldn't do it, no physical reason or restraint. We all tell ourselves we are incapable of doing things and in truth those are the thoughts that make us incapable. Your mind controls everything. If you tell yourself you can't do something then most likely you won't do it but if you have some faith in yourself the possibilities are endless of what you can achieve. Your goals, your dreams, your aspirations are all possible; so step aside, get out of your own way and be amazed of what you can do when you allow yourself to.

with love,
