Find Your Fellow Warriors

You are rocking life.

You set goals.

You dream.

And you dream big.

You see your inadequacies— not to wrap yourself up in despair but to overcome them. You find happiness from your core and from the life you’ve created by yourself, for yourself. When life pounds you with lemons as if you are at play with the universe in a game of dodgeball, you grab those lemons and make a hundred different variations of acceptance, contentment, courage and resolve.

You’ve quieted those thoughts of self-doubt knowing they are just passing thoughts because your actions of accomplishment resonate louder and more encouragingly.

The world is your oyster, not from born privilege, but because you will make the best of your path and because in your mind no matter the life you live, it is yours— full of unique opportunities only limited by your own willingness to succeed.

You wake with endless possibilities for the day. You are in control of your emotions, actions and determination. And in failure, you rise up from the ashes and run towards another day, another opportunity, another lesson.

You are an optimist.

You are successful.

You are strong.

You are resolved.

You are in a loop— a good loop of positivity.

As your world keeps spinning and begins to wobble off it's axis from affliction, you still loop in the mindset that you will overcome adversity.

It is your way of thinking, a proven mindset, that continues to shape your outlook in life and in affliction. With every success after failure, with every overcome challenge- your optimism continues.

But what if…..

What if, instead of looping with optimism, you were stuck spiraling in negativity?

What if instead of dismissing those harmful thoughts of self-doubt, discouragement, laziness, you let them manifest— letting them become your mantra. What if as they grew, your focus on your failure, your pain, your afflictions became your entire world that you could no longer see beyond yourself?

If life is a merry-go-round, what roundabout do we want to ride? And if some of us are looping in positivity and others in negativity, with whom do we want to ride the merry-go-round?

Find your fellow warriors.

Find those that wake up knowing the possibilities for the day are endless. Find your warriors that greet a challenge with an extended hand, knowing they will wrestle and win.

Find those that inspire, those that are looping with the mentality of “I can” instead of “I can’t”.

Find your warrior that will hobble to the finish line instead of the person that will never make it to the start line. The future you will thank you.

To my fellow warriors, my good friends, especially my running partners— thank you! You are my warriors, my inspiration and my stronghold to keep looping in the positive.
