edge of your ability

I have been through, and am still going through, a little bit of hell.  I think most people are.

I am where I am because of decisions I’ve made in the past.  I accept full responsibility for that, and that makes things a little easier.

The way I will spend my day today is a result of decisions I made days, months, weeks, and years ago.

I chose this path, and I own it.

I do hard things.

By doing hard things, life is easy.  If you choose to to easy things, life is hard.

I am making the choice to defer gratification, and instead, enjoy the journey.

I am making the choice to stick to a decision made that sucks right now, but will serve me in the long run.

I am choosing to forgive myself when I have lapses, when I fall down, when I stumble, because if you’re in your comfort zone, you will never fall down.  Never stumble.

It’s when you’re at the edge of your ability, edge of your knowledge that you will have mis-steps.

You will make mistakes.

You are in uncharted territory, and even with all your experience, you will have issues to deal with.

New challenges to overcome.  This will make life harder, and more interesting.

There will be plenty of time to rest when you’re done.  And I’m not done yet.
