“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
Wishing is so easy.
It doesn't require anything of you.
You sit in the position of waiting to be fulfilled.
However, if you plan on reaching a goal, you are involved.
You are putting yourself in the to the process of creating the outcome you have in mind.
And, in doing this, you have to have confidence in yourself to accomplish the steps needed for the plan to move towards the goal.
What is interesting to me...is how I am excited and afraid of the 100 mile hike.
The two emotions seems to be opposite.
I just read another quote on Facebook "If your goal does not scare and excite you at the same time, the goal is probably too small."
Today I am sitting with my fear of the strength building exercises...the ones I can't do very well...along with the fear of the hike.
While I am excited; I am terrified of not being able to do it.
Not only IT; but the training. I even am afraid to do the strength exercise alone.
What came to me, while I colored this afternoon was that I was expecting my weak self to be on the hike. Or expecting my weak self to do the exercise like a pro.
My view of self and hike and all; was all out of sorts.
All I really have to do is be brave to start.
Be brave to get on the floor and do a plank as long as I can today.
Just do this moment well....and it will build upon itself.
The fear comes when we are not rational with ourselves.
I can't have muscles I have not built.
I can't get confidence until I keep trying them.
Tomorrow morning I am scheduled to do my strength builders.
I will bravely meet myself where I am!
