“I’m going to do today what other people aren’t willing to do,
So, that I can do today what other people can’t.”
What are you doing when no-one is looking?
There is no denying we live in a
world of competition. Being in shape, being a winner, being healthy seems to be
many people's ultimate quest. The reality is in order to make this happen you
need time, energy as well as the courage to face the fact that you need it.
There is no mountain high enough that
cannot be conquered, as quoted by Tom Turner, Spina Bifida Association's
executive liaison. All one needs is the right kind of perspective. Tom is a man
of great strengths. He knows what courage is. At the age of 35 he trains three
times per week, despite his congenital paralysis from waist down.
There are 3 basic principle goals
when aiming for fitness, according to Tom:
Principle 1: Don't back down &
face what you fear
You have to believe in yourself and
the fact that you can overcome anything if you try hard enough. Face your fears
head on. This first rule recommends identifying your discomfort zones.
What about your level of fitness? Are
you in or out of shape? If you're out of shape do you have the courage to
accept it? Is it an injury that is holding you back? Or is it something else?
You need to get your fears in check and learn to face them. Visualize yourself
as you would like to be.
Your body is yours, and it's the only
one you have or will get. Learn how to love it by listening to it and trusting
it.
Principle 2: Move on instinct
Trust that your instinct, whatever it
is telling you, is correct. It is the small voice that comes from inside you,
which should never be ignored. Do not look to others for input or guidance.
Look for signs from within your being, and trust that it will tell you what to
or what not to do.
The first step to overcoming a
challenge is to know and recognize your boundaries. What can or can't you do?
As with Tom, he never let a wheelchair stop him from doing whatever he wanted
to. Instead, he recognized his limitation and overcame it. Know your
restrictions and that way you will know how to overcome them.
Principle 3: Don't let fear take away
the joy out of life
One has to have the courage to face
ones fears. As Tom mentioned, he has been through 19 operations in his lifetime
and has realized that the most primal fear of any living creature is death. You
can either choose to let that fear of dying one day hold you down, or you can
live the time you have here happily and productively. The choice is always
yours; just make sure you select the right one.
If you allow it, fear will take away
the joys of life. Hold a positive attitude and look forward to what tomorrow
will bring. Face your fears and live to be free of them.
In Conclusion:
Live outside the box; don't limit
yourself and do not, under any circumstances, under estimate yourself. When you
have achieved one success, find another hurdle to jump. Make your life fun to
live. Take time off to decide what you will do next.
Find your zest in life to make it
worth living and add the flavor of enjoyment to it.
