“We aim above the mark to hit the mark.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
The next goal. The new challenge. The fresh idea. These come as a result of raising our eyes. Exhaustion. Frustration. Pain. Discouragement. These are examples of life’s realities that force our eyes down. We hang our heads and disengage from the electricity of living our best life.
Know the triggers. Recognize emotions that derail the forward movement. Use strategies to rise above the bottom-feeding behaviors. It’s easy to pull back, stay quiet, and apologize for being who we are. We need to remember that when we experience back sliding, it’s most likely because we are forgetting to spend time in our strengths, with our tribe, and in our best time of day.
Decide right now to raise those eyes! See what’s in front of you! Gather the necessary tools for the journey and start moving forward. The other side of the hill is so close! Get determined!
Make it a strong day!
