Sometimes you just have to do the hard things.

Hello and happy Friday. I hope this day finds you well and happy. 

A few weeks ago I woke with a light bulb moment of clarity to simply do the hard thing. That was basically it. Try doing the hard things you don't want to see where it gets you.

I can't even specifically remember what morning it was, I want to say a Monday but I can not say for sure. My alarm went off and my head told me to try the hard things I didn't want to do and see what it got me. Without a moments hesitation I climbed out of bed and got to working on my goals. Every morning since I've woken up with the mantra of "do the hard thing" and I can't even begin to express the difference it has made! I'm accomplishing goals I've been working at for years. When I want to stop I remind myself to do the hard thing because its so worth it. I've increased my run distance, and my speed, strength and stability goals are being met and surpassed and can I just say confidence is being reigned in as I am walking around trying not to ooze all my bad ass-ness all over the place. I've encountered situations I would have missed had I quit instead of kept going and I can't imagine having missed out. 

"Doing the difficult things you've never done awakens the talents you never knew you had."

~Robin Sharma

What made this morning different then the others when I would hit snooze and roll over. I don't know. I REALLY wish I could tell you. I think it was just my time. My time to set a new pace for myself, dig deep and discover a new part of myself, my time for a change. Whatever it was, I am so thankful to have unleashed it and I hope your moment comes soon. Whatever you are facing I highly encourage you to do the hard thing and see where it gets you. 

Please believe....

 .... And handsome boy ...

Much Love
