Reach Beyond Your Limits—Face Life Head On

Would you like to be the kind of person who doesn’t give up on yourself... Who reaches beyond what you think you can do…And who achieves more than you ever thought you could?

I hope you answered YES to those three questions. The reality, in life we come across moments where we either settle for mediocrity or feel we deserve something better. I believe every person has the ability to push themselves beyond their limits but few are willing to try. Typically, what stops us from achieving these things is simply ourselves and the effect of that limits our true potential.

The blunt truth, life can absolutely be unfair and brutally difficult at times. Each person on this earth battles something every single day, whether by choice or not by choice. Sometimes things happen that is completely out of our control and we’re left in the wake of devastation not knowing how to deal, cope, recover and move forward.

Today, I invite you to take a few minutes to watch this motivational video from a movie called “Facing The Giants”. In this scene a coach pushes one of his players to do something that seemed impossible...

I watch this scene and focus on how the coach didn’t quit on his player even tho the player wanted to give up, instead he was relentless in his desire to push the player to the limits and by the end the player made it to the goaline. The metaphor and meaning is to not give up on yourself. That no matter what any of us goes through, we all have the ability to achieve whatever we set our mind too. But we can’t do it alone, that’s when we turn to our family, friends, loved ones and God to extract the ability, strength and passion we all need and have to get to where we want to be.

So I challenge you to focus on how you can be better and pay it forward to someone else in need. Don’t just crawl through life, step with force, purpose, strength and love.
