If you want to see positive gains in your life, make your world a happier place to live, build success from nothing or expound on advantages you may have been blessed with from your start. Then I’ve found looking at the ones who have done what you want to do is a great way to learn how to do it too. Focusing your energy only on things that will inspire you to be better, do better, and elevate your mindset is vital for optimum growth. Once you get your mind right and decide to start working towards your goal, which could range from just feeling better, to something more specific …for me, completing a certain climbing route, reaching a training milestone with one of my horses, qualifying for a certain class at a horse show, or learning a new technique for something with my work. For you, it can be anything, but you have to realize that the small steps are part of the process. When people tell me I’m good at something and they don’t see how they could ever do xyz that I can do or that someone else can do, I always hope to be the encourager who will remind that person that at one time I couldn’t do it either. I had to start out climbing jug hauls, at one time I couldn’t do a single pull up, the thought of running 2-5 miles a day seemed unheard of, and if you’d told I’ve ever be in a position to share my successes I’d have laughed, but I’d have laughed knowing I’d do my best to do it one day. Recently I discovered a secret personal goal of mine became to find a way to brighten this amazing Earth and life of mine that over last few years had a dimming light. I can remember having an uncle encourage me once… he said, “Shelly, the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.” It was a long time ago and I was still in college, which I had started at the early age of 16… I have always been a bit of a go-getter. I’ll never forget that statement and hope it will help someone else realize that big dreams can be realized by remembering when you come from nothing that you can still slowly get somewhere if you’re willing to keep taking one bite at a time. This is my Saturday inspiration for all of you wonderful fans. Keep taking those bites and thanks for supporting me while I keep taking mine 😍
