Don't Lose Sight

What I have found true throughout life is that life can be tough from time to time.  There are setbacks, fears, discouragements, and failures, but there is also hope that one may overcome all these things and even push through to success in the midst of each.

In Beyond Failure, an earlier blog, I discussed the idea of failure in relation to muscle and strength training and the notion that we should allow our failures (also applies to setbacks, disappointments, and fears) to produce growth.  Today, I want to look at what it takes to push through tough times and obtain success. So let's get to it!

Identify your purpose.  What is it that you were created for? What is your life goal? What legacy do you want to leave? Answer this and you will find your motivation to start the journey to fulfilling it; however you have to do more than identify,  you have to understand it and believe it and allow yourself to dream big dreams.  It has to be more than a goal.  It has to stir deep within you and become a desire that can stand up to any fear or discouragement. When you reach this point, courage appears and you realize that doing nothing is a bigger prison than any fear of failure. Now you're ready to lace up and get in the game. Sure there is opposition, but  don't lose sight of the goal because without it you have nothing to fight for.  Having the goal in sight reminds you why you are in the game and gives you everything to press on for.

Be in it to win it!
