“If we all did the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves”. -Thomas Edison
There are many people that can go right into a headstand without thought, or hesitation…..they can just do it. Well, I am not one of those people. There are a plethora of things that come easy to some, while others have to work hard to accomplish and that is ok. At the end of the day I can now do a headstand just like all the others, that may never had to work as hard as I did at it.
Yeah, I had to build strength in my body, let go of my fear of falling, and gain the will power to reach this goal. It took time for me to do this, but I would rather have taken a year to practice and be able to do it than to never be able to do it at all.
I know it is just a simple headstand …..what is the big deal? Well, it was a personal goal of mine and like any other goal in life, if I did not push myself, if I allowed fear to enter my mind…afraid to fail, afraid to fall, or it may take too long than I would have never known what it felt like to accomplish this goal.
Some goals may take more work or longer to reach, but wouldn’t you rather wake up in 6mths, 1 year, maybe 5 years and say I did it? I certainly would. It may seem like a long time but trust me working toward your goals is better than a lifetime of always wishing you would have. Living with regret is more crippling than taking the steps to achieve even the smallest goals you may have.
These small goals, like a simple headstand for example, may seem silly. I can tell you when you accomplish even the smallest of goals, it enables your mind and spirit to begin the journey of achieving the bigger goals.
The saying “baby steps” is powerful because taking those little steps will one day have you leaping, jumping and running toward whatever goals and dreams you can imagine. Never worry about how long it may take, enjoy the journey and reach your daily goals, so you can be one step closer to the big goals and dreams. Isn’t that all we can really do? Believe in who you are and the road you are going down.
You will go places you never dreamed possible.
