MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
"TOO FAR"
Life is not about playing it safe, living in a comfort zone. It is about taking risks, pushing the limits as much and as far as you can. For how can you ever know what it TRULY means to live if you limit yourself to living in a small square box, inside the lines that everyone else says you should stay within? You canNOT.
Those who dare greatly achieve greatly. They learn much about themselves and their strengths. They know what they are capable of and they are not afraid to push themselves further than before. They understand the risks but take them regardless. They realize that life is meant to be LIVED and experienced in its complete fullness, that there is far more out there than they could ever imagine, and that THEY are capable of far more than they might think or know in this moment.
Living life pushed to the limits, going “too far”, does not mean being foolish in it, but simply accepts that you do NOT accept limits on yourself, desiring only to strive further, reach higher, achieve greatly, being a “miracle”.
I live life on the edge, my body a living battleground. I’ve had a heart attack and yet refuse NOT to continue to push my body to exhaustion, training in all weather, on no sleep, when sick and knowing, looking at me, in no physical condition to be doing anything. I’ve collapsed multiples times during training, soldiered through the roughest times, determined not to let my physiological condition dictate what I can and cannot do, doing things others have told me I would never be able to do. I’ve suffered injuries and yet have come back from them stronger than ever and in less time than I was told it would take, taking a step further than the pain of returning to training, knowing that if I do NOT ask it of my body, I will never have it. I ALWAYS push the limits because I would rather take the risk than NEVER know.
What about YOU? How do YOU live your life?
