Sunday Story...

Over the last couple of weeks, we've talked about making small changes to get big results. We've talked about changing our direction one or two degrees and finding an entirely new destination at the end of our journey.

But often, we find ourselves stymied by the stories that we are telling ourselves about our history, about what's happened in the past, the things you could do, things you couldn't do, why you couldn't do it, whose fault it was, and all of those stories that we tell ourselves around what has happened to us.

If we want to change our history, we must change the stories we tell about it. So, if you tell yourself, "I have never been athletic," "I have never been able to get in shape," and then you tell yourself, "I'll never be athletic," "I will never be able to get in shape." Failure isn't fatal, and success isn't permanent. All those things - failures, successes - are all part of the learning process.

We want to shift the stories we tell ourselves: "I’ve never been athletic YET," "I haven't found what works for me in the fitness area." You're going to keep trying until you find something that does work for you, for your life, for your fitness. That's your journey to extraordinary; it's not some destination; it's the learning process; it's the story you tell yourself.

So, let's keep learning and keep journeying toward the extraordinary.
