I went to the woods the other day and I think I found my word for next year. In the stillness. My soul spoke to what I needed. It was so freeing.
I woke up in a very odd mood, one that wasn’t welcomed. But then, my girlfriend called, and she asked did I want to walk. Because my leg was hurting, I could have easily said no. And my leg… it really was getting on my nerves because the summer would have been so much better without the injury.
Luckily, I Have trained my mind and body to “think different and be different.” When you decide to make your will be stronger in the decision, than your mind and feelings – you have caught on to something. You begin to persevere. Do you know what persevere means? It means to : “continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success:” In another interpretation it means:” to gain what you expect to gain.”
I am learning how to persevere. You cannot do it alone. Many times, it involves a tribe, a perspective, an expectation, and an inner strength you cannot gain from just living. It requires a focus, a commitment, and even a discipline. Perseverance is NO JOKE. It turns a NO… or an “I don’t know“…, into a YES.
So… I asked myself… “So, do you want to walk?” Despite my condition, I said yes. Going to the woods releases something in me I have never felt before. Empowerment. Energy. Breath. Fresh air.
