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. 80% is the goal so if 20% of the time you stumble. Grab some courage and start again. As many times as it takes!
