Hump Day Push

When was the last time you were pushed into doing something? When was the last time you pushed someone to do something.  Everyone needs a push, however, it's what we do with the push that counts.  Sometimes if you are pushed off a cliff (so to speak) you have to decide if you are going to try to fly or just let gravity take you down!!!  Today I got a push! (a push to do & redo several things)  A co-worker/fellow (expert) runner said--"hey what are you doing Sunday morning?" and I laughed and said, "Not running a 5K!".....(I already had a feeling his question was going to lead to information about running in a race on Sunday).  This discussion lead to realizing (and remembering) that you have the ability to make up your mind to do (or not do) something and conquer a goal, fear or obstacle.   A lot of times mental strength will carry you through.  If you think you can--you can, if you think you can't--you can't.  By nature I am a "pusher"...I am usually the one pushing people to do better, be better, live better.  Today I had an epiphany---every now and then I need a push.   I need a push to go farther, do better and be better.  I need a push to keep on keeping on and get over that hump.  Sometimes we get stuck on the hump!  I challenge everyone to run up the hump---stand on the top of the hump (do some jumping jacks) and then run down the hump and enjoy the victory waiting ahead!
