Have you ever done something less then your best? Are you okay with being mediocre? Is living a semi-charmed life fulfilling, or is just simply comforting? Is the threshold of pain to much to handle once it is pushed? I think the answer to all of these is yes. At least in my case.
Only in extreme cases do I find myself living up to my best potential. Giving 100% to everything I do. For example, I shattered my ankle (literally) and made a remarkable recovery. I can run again, and do anything I please when I was told I couldn't. However, I play a game of Ultimate and I play lazily, I lack confidence, and play like I think don't know what I am doing. Or I failed a class in college because I didn't want to put in the effort forth. I don't take my yoga practice to the next level phase because it hurts.
But I can shattered my ankle, and make an incredible recovery. I lose my mom and come out stronger than before, and always hold my head up high. Something is missing. And it's frustrating. It's been proven time and again, that if I put my mind to something I can truly achieve anything.
Perhaps, it is because the easy things aren't challenging, so I don't see the point. I am not what it is that is holding me back but I am going to take the necessary steps to accomplish these tasks. So I am compiling a list.
Lets call it: BE BETTER
1. Do more of everything.
2. Play more Ultimate. At least 2 or 3 times a week.
3. Push myself more in yoga.
4. Relax
5. Do something active everyday
6. Get back into theater.
7. Be motivated everyday.
8. No excuses.
9. No whining
10. Believe in my abilities.
11. Want to be better.
12. Ask for help
13. MORE, MORE, MORE!
I've done before. Now I am certain I can do it again. There are no excuses. My mind is in control of my actions. So let gains control of this steering wheel. And drive it in the the right direction with fierce determination.
