“My valleys are higher than most people’s peaks. I stay at that level.”—Dan Gable
Sometimes when obstacles get in my way, I have to remind myself that this is the path I am supposed to be on—the path I chose to be on; the path chosen for me to be on. I get frustrated. We all get frustrated. Of course, if something better we to present itself, I would have to consider, but “better” isn’t always what we are intended for. Sometimes the “hard” has its place. Sometimes, we are called to stand with Purpose, and hard is what makes us grow.
I have to remind myself to “stay at that level.” I am no Dan Gable (I’m not supposed to be), but I have to trust that my valleys, too, are higher than most people’s peaks. So, when I am in the “valley,” I have to aim for the “peak.” I have to remember that the people who are trying to keep me in the valley are very likely doing so from their peak.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!
