Insight
Over the weekend I did Ruck4HIT- a 200 mile relay across Cape Cod to raise money and awareness for Heroes in Transition. We had 7 ruckers, 2 drivers and made it over 200 miles.
It was hard. There were lots of highs and lows for everyone. When you’re 6 hours into a race and already hurting- and you know there are 30 more hours to go- that’s a tough spot to be.
That’s when you have to commit to just taking the next step.
To having the right mindset.
To believing that you can do hard things and overcome obstacles.
To laughing through the discomfort, and letting yourself be uplifted by others.
What you can’t do is let the pain of any one moment stop you from moving forward.
Do what you can, take the next step, never stop believing.
That’s true in races, and even more so in life.
Just keep moving, you’ve got this.
Question
Where in your life do you just need to keep moving forward?
