Beth's Ponderings
Ever wish you had
the ability to move mountains? Well, you’re
in luck, because every single one of us has that ability. Truly, we do.
No matter who you
are, what is going on in your life, or what you are facing or dealing with, the
truth is that the most formidable mountain any of us will ever encounter in our
entire lives, is...ourselves.
You can dream and
visualize all you want (and there is a time and place for dreaming) or think
all you want (and there certainly is a time and place for thinking), but all
the dreaming and thinking in the world is worth nothing if you don’t physically
move yourself and DO the action that you are thinking or dreaming about.
We believe that we
have to wait until we’re completely ready, that certain circumstances have to
change in our lives, or everything has to be absolutely perfect, before we take
that first step, yet, nothing will change, nor will we be ever be ready, UNTIL
we take that first step, whatever it may be.
Now some of you
will say that you are constantly moving and on the go, and that very well may
be true, but how much of our daily activity is habitual, routine actions that
we all do without much thought? We’re
not moving mountains in that case, we’re just pushing dirt around.
In order to move
our “mountain” we need to move ourselves in ways that we don’t normally move - and
by moving physically, I’m not just referring to exercise, though that certainly
may be one area of movement that you want to change.
So in order to move
your particular mountain, all you have to do is take one step, any step, in any
direction, as long as it is one you’ve never taken before.
And once that first
step, or action, is taken, the rest will be that much easier, and before you
know it, you’ll be in that place you always dreamed of, but never thought you’d
be.
Moving a mountain
is both the hardest, and yet the simplest, task we may ever do in our lives.
