When was the last time you tested your limits?
When was the last time you took the hard road instead of taking an easy exit out?
I did today, in a test of my physical strength and mental determination.
Having underestimated the weight of my groceries, I found myself walking 16 blocks or 1.12 miles, carrying what I later calculated to be 61 pounds! (More than half my body weight.)
Yes, I could have hopped in a cab and been on my way, but something told me to trek on. To push my limits and take the hard road (or sidewalk).
When I made it home, my arms throbbing in overexertion, I felt a sense of accomplishment. Not because I saved five bucks in cab fare, but because I finished a challenge that I initially thought I couldn't do.
I know I will be sore tomorrow, but that's OK. Sometimes pushing our limits reminds of what we are capable of doing.
"I can't do it." is a phrase we should all ban from our dialogue.
