Facing down obstacles

It is said: "that what is in you will come out of you". Today my trainer wanted me to try "box jumps" (vertically jumping onto a platform just shy of 12 inches high).

At first glance, I thought to myself: "there is no way I'm going to jump that high" "I'm going to fall flat on my face!!"

F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real) is a powerful force. But, once on the other side of it you experience F.A.I.T.H (Full Assurance Invoking Transformative Healing)

Did I fall? You better believe it!! But, I shook it off and got back up. The ability to get back up comes from the source of peace and power  that resides deep within. As I cleared my mind and focused on engaging my core I was able to do three sets of box jumps each jump stronger than the last.

As 2014 approaches I am facing the F.E.A.R of: three half marathons, the Solider Field Ten mile, two international distance triathlons, and a couple of triathlon sprints and 5ks thrown in for flavour.  Yet, as I begin Winter Warrior Training (Triathlon edition) I am open to increasing my F.A.I.T.H

Moving from F.E.A.R to F.A.I.T.H is a process of increasing what fuels my soul and decreasing what doesn't.

It is my hearts intention that you do the same.

Peace & Blessings on Your Journey..
