Erasers

On Monday, this quote from John Bingham was on Facebook as a "Monday Motivation". I felt that it spoke volumes and I know I wasn't alone. So many times we wake up and set goals for ourselves. We set out to accomplish those goals through training, planning and sometimes "blood, sweat and tears". However, sometimes we don't accomplish those goals. We hit a road block or the climb up the mountain became too steep. Did we end up with an injury or did we have a bad day that didn't bring us across the finish line?

We were strong when we set the goals. We were stronger when we started training and we were strongest when we approached the start line. However, something got in our way of finishing and because of that we began to doubt ourselves. We questioned if we could do it? If we could accomplish our goals, if we were worthy of the finish line?

One thing we have to remember is we had the courage to try, to train and to start. So we start again, we put on our running shoes and we start again. We erase those failures and those doubts. We remember what drove us to set the goals in the first place. And it doesn't matter how many times we have to start again, one day we will succeed!
