“As a StoryAthlete, I know there is always an obstacle. Poor timing. Don’t feel like it. Sore muscles. No support. Not enough time. No money. Etc. The Inner Critic, i.e., the voice of the Lesser Self is a compelling temptress. On the Hero’s Journey, though, these obstacles are merely stepping stones. The Lesser Self wants me to quit. Return to safety. But behaving as my Heroic Self, I find a way.”
I find myself on the threshold of a new year with new opportunities and I’m struggling with some decisions I’ve made. Will they be the right ones? Currently, I am stretched to the max, not sure if I can maintain the rigorous schedule I’ve set for myself. But I’ve given myself a deadline of 12 months to meet certain goals, with quarterly, monthly and weekly goal posts. I have a lot riding on my ability to stick with this schedule and persist through.
Lord, have mercy on me, and grant me the strength to make it through. Giving up is NOT an option.
