It's Thanksgiving 🦃 break and there is a special workout 🏋️♀️ happening at the high school. 8am-10am. Today my high schoolers concern was "Mom what if no girls go" "what if it is packed in the weight room".
My response was the road to success is paved with great resistance. There are more average people than GREAT people in this world. Most average athletes will sleep😴 in on their Thanksgiving break. The ones who want to be GREAT will get up and do what no one else is doing. Believe me, it will not be jam packed full of athletes this morning. And as for girls, there may not be many but you stand out among them all just because you showed up for yourself.
Lastly, I reminded my daughter at the end of the day it is always you against you. So go out there and do your best🏆.
As the parent of an athlete I try to remind my children they can have the biggest dreams💭 possible and there is very little that they cannot achieve but only through hard work and perseverance will it be obtained. That means, waking up before everyone else sometimes. It also means doing what no one else is doing and finding some form of comfort with 🚣♀️sailing through uncharted territory.
They will learn to walk through the fire on their own and do the things they've never done. I explained to her doing so builds resiliency and she will find there is nothing she can't battle through because she did the hard things today!
What areas of your life are you avoiding out of fear of the unknown. Is your fear realistic or are you just afraid of navigating uncharted waters? Give me your thoughts. I'd love to hear from you.
