Do you believe you can?

My brother-in-law asked a question the other day, well it was more of a statement really, along the lines of “Well. Of course, you don’t believe you can do anything, do you?”

And in that moment and without thinking I replied, well of course I can do anything, I just have to put my mind to it and make it happen, and until the words fell out of my mouth I truly didn’t realise how much I believe this to be true!

So much so, that he was taken aback and questioned me on it and added he wished that he believed that too!

This is a man who at almost 50 is about to run his first marathon and who has wholeheartedly pushed himself to achieve this once-in-a-lifetime dream.

So how could someone who is capable of such a feat not believe he is capable of anything, when I, who only manages to swim 3-4 times a week and a little walking in terms of exercise believe it to be so true.

Through discussion with my family, I have come to realise many things about myself, that are points of value to me, and this is just one of them.

So in those moments when life seems to be rushing headlong, I can remind myself that  I am only limited by the things I choose to limit myself by… and that is my way of saying I won’t be running a marathon any time soon, but that I am so much more than I may appear to be!

If you believe you can…you can

If you believe you cant… you cant

You make your own reality!
