Taking the Next Step

For so long I have lived with this fear of failing. Why? Well I wish that were a lot easier to figure out, but no need to go into that here. I realized something today. That when it comes to my health, my weight I am finally taking the next step. Sure I know that at any point I could fail, and that scares me, but I am slowly learning that if I stay in the moment and not let myself get to overwhelmed about how far I have to go, or how scary it might look right now, then I do ok.

Does that mean in these last almost 2 months now I haven't failed. Yeah right, I have but I don't stay focused on it. I keep going on.


I think that making with a life style would be good. I think of all the other things I want to try but never do because I am scared I won't get it right. Someone wise told me today, that "Sarah, you are going to fail, but if you want to do big things you have to fail." I was so against this, and then as we began to talk I realized just how right she was. We do learn a whole lot more from our failures than we do from our successes. Truth being, that we just take sucess as it comes, yet when we face failure, we sit down and look at it, examine it find out what adjustments we need to make and then try again.

Sure, I am going to fail, but I am learning that, failing doesn't make me a failure. All I have to do is be willing to take the next step. Play the game on the front lines. If I am willing to do that who knows what kind of sucess is waiting for me. Who knows what kind of impact I just migt have.

So, sure I will fail a battle with this weight issue once and a while, the goal though is to keep fighting. Not to give in to the war, just because one battle didn't go exactly as I had planned. Who knows when victory will come or even in this case, what I might look like when it does, but as long as I keep pressing on. I know one thing. It will come!
