For Jeff's birthday I reserved the rock climbing wall at the court club for a couple of hours! It was such a blast. I did it for him because I knew he would love it but I wasn't sure that I was going to have any fun. Frankly, I've always told myself that I can not rock climb and there's a list of many other things that I've told myself I can't do.
In the past I decided I couldn't rock climb, because I wasn't strong enough or flexible enough. Boy, have I been a big wimp. I've let my attitude and fear determine what I can and can't do. I've finally started to get rid of my "stinkin thinkin" and told myself
I can. Rock climbing isn't the only thing that I've decided I "can't do"
. Ever since I can remember I've never been able to do a sit up without someone holding my feet. So, guess what? I decided that I couldn't do sit ups. I've been working out the last 8 weeks or so and every day I've done an ab workout. I can do a sit-up!!! It feels so good to change my bad attitude and to work towards a goal that I used to think was unattainable. Now I've decided to take a good look at what else I've told myself I can't do. Here's what I've thought of...
- I can't play the piano very well because I can't sight read.
- I can't do a pull up, I'm not strong enough.
- I can't swim very well so I'm not sure I can do a triathlon.
- I can't talk very well. Have you ever told yourself you can't do something? I challenge you to rethink what ever you've decided that you can't do. Determination, attitude, work, and faith have played a huge role in overcoming my fears and doubts. I hope to conquer the next I can't. Are you with me?
