Let me set the stage…
I am a firm believer in learning everyday and growing as a
person. I believe this so much that I
try to model it for others. This year, I
have challenged myself to a physical completion that is 50% physical, 50%
mental. The mental part, for me, is
believing that yes, I can do it. I have
told people I am doing this competition so I will follow through and have been
overwhelmed by the support. I even have
a student who wants to come watch me.
Today as I was chatting with his mom, we talked about how my
training is going and I said that I am glad I am challenging myself but that I
hope I can do it. That’s when it
happened…
“Would you let my son say ‘I hope’?”
Caught busted! No, my
students need to know they can and so should I.
“You’re right, I will.”
Thank you so much to that family for reminding me that I
need to model not only challenging yourself, but believing in yourself.
