KEEP GOING

If you trained and trained for months (or even years) to run a marathon, would you start the race and then give up after a few miles because you couldn't SEE the finish line?? Would you give up if people passed you?? Would you give up if you got injured a few feet from the end?? I'll bet, if you were focused on the goal of COMPLETING the marathon, you would answer "No" to all my questions. Completing a marathon is such a specific goal and most people can agree on whether you accomplish it or not. Either you finished the marathon or you didn't. What about other things in life that aren't as clear-cut? Then it gets a little harder to know at which point you'd give up. If you have strong, specific dreams and you are making progress then why give up? However, if you don't have specific dreams, then how do you know if you're even IN the race? I challenge you to find a quiet moment today and think about what your specific dream IS. Then decide if you're even IN the race, yet. If you ARE, then don't give up, KEEP GOING. The finish line is there! I love you and KNOW you can do it!! ~Aunt Dottie
