Hurdles of Life
I was never a great athlete.
When it was time to do hurdles - I cringed!
I was afraid...
I couldn't do it
I would fall flat on my face
Everyone was watching me
That I would look stupid
I might actually do okay.
Back then....
I was able to do it
I DID fall flat on my face
Everyone WAS watching me
I definitely looked stupid
I really did do okay!
Now....
Life still seems like those school hurdles.
I still feel like I can't do it
I still fall flat on my face
I still have people watching me
I still have moments that I look stupid
I am still actually doing okay.
The hurdles of life as an adult....
Some days I am able to do it -
Some days I am not capable of coherent thought!
Some days, it still hurts when I fail and fall flat on my face!
I know that I am Still being watched -
both by those who want my success
and
by those who want me to continue to fail
The hurdles of life still makes me feel stupid
but then I resolve to learn and choose a
smart path - a smarter attitude.
Attitude goes hand in hand with hurdles.
It's not always what is going on that breaks you down
it is mostly how you approach the hurdle.
If you approach a life hurdle
expecting that you can't - then you won't
expecting that you'll fall flat on your face - you will
expecting that people are waiting for your failure
you won't expect them to want your success!
If you approach a life hurdle
thinking that whatever you do will be stupid
you will not try to learn how to act and believe smarter.
If you approach a life hurdle
Expecting that you're going to do okay
You'll slowly see the hurdles of life
melting away.
Yes, there are going to be bad days.
There are going to be very sad and mad days.
There are going to be bruises and bumps along the way.
You can't expect every day to be without a struggle.
What you CAN Do?
Get back up and keep trying!
BELIEVE!!
I love this video!!
