Pate asked me the other day, “Sara, have you updated your blog lately?”
“No.” I replied, “I’m lost for words right now.”
Why? I guess because all I could think about was the bad things that have been going on. My ankle took more then a month to heal before I could do any sort of intensity. I didn’t feel ready for Nationals. This year was nothing like I’d hoped it would be. I found out my boyfriend has Mono. This all put me a mental whirlwind, and I didn’t know how to handle it.
But it all seemed to come down to one quote, “There is NOTHING the body suffers, that the soul may not profit by.”
The way I see it, is I’m getting all the bad stuff out of the way now, making it all the more easier in the future. Looking at next year, I feel like I have a better understanding of knowing what I want, and how to achieve it better.
I watched the movie The Secret last night. Some of the points mentioned seemed to somehow click in my mind and make a lot of sense. For example, if you focus on what you don’t want, in the end that is what you will get. By focusing on what you do want, there is a better chance of that dream actually coming true. Even if you have no idea how that will happen, by always having it on your mind it will eventually find its way there.
I have two final races left to this season. My goal is to go out there and give it my all, knowing in my mind what I am shooting for, and as every day goes by I am one step closer to my dream turning into reality.
