The Miracle of Starting

The miracle isn’t that I finished, the miracle is I had the courage to Start! John Bingham

What an awesome frame of mind to live by. I don’t think we realize often enough if we do not take a step forward, we do not move. So the most important thing in our life is to at least make the effort. Try, show up, take a chance. You will totally be amazed at what can happen.

I often hear people say they started on their diet or 24 Day Challenge (Go Advocare!) only to give in to some temptations or attend a big party and blow it and give up. Same thing with exercise. Join a gym, go 3-5 times a week for 2 weeks, get sick, go out of town, get too busy at work and throw in the towel. I just can’t do it. Wrong! Get back to the salad and tuna. Throw the gym bag in the car and stop by tomorrow. Grab some courage and start again. As many times as it takes! It is a commitment to the long journey not the short term results or lack of results.
