My morning ride took my along a different route this
morning. Usually I only stop once during my ride, but this morning I stopped
twice, as this route was a bit more tedious than usual. As I took on the last
incline, I felt as though I wouldn't make it and I should stop again. But my
inner voice told me to keep going. Instead of stopping and starting again, it
would be easier to cut my speed and take my time over the incline – so that’s
what I did. After those 30 seconds that seemed like forever, I reached the top
and a nice downhill slope was waiting for me on the next block. What a relief!!
My message to you this morning – Never stop!! Every day we
face a decision, challenge or opportunity that requires us to climb a hill.
Sometimes we see the hill, attack it head on and succeed. Other times we
rationalize the process, thinking if we stop and go we’ll reach the top. Truth
is, we are more likely to stop, and never start again. We get distracted, find
excuses or better yet stay in the same spot and complain. BUT, if we just take
the time to put one foot in front of the other, make a plan and keep a
consistent pace, we’d reach our goal and enjoy the sweet downhill ride that is
waiting for us on the other side.
Set a goal, stay steady and NEVER STOP!!
