Do it Anyway

Morning Mantra: “Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from what you can do.”I call this the defeatist attitude, you’ve heard it, or maybe have it.Since I can’t run 3 miles, I might as well not even try to run one. Since I can’t paint well, I might as well not even try to paint at all.And so on.You defeat yourself before you even try.Accepting your limitations with grace gets even more difficult as we age, especially if what we can’t do now was something we could do before.I have found that what helps is to switch this to acknowledge what I CAN do with gratitude.I may not be able to run 3 miles, but I am thankful I can run.I may not have reached my goal this month, but at least I am trying. I may not be as confident in the saddle anymore, but at least I am in the saddle.Don’t give up on something that you really love, or want, just because you aren’t good at it. It’s not only about how well you do things, it’s also about doing what you enjoy.#BeWillingToDoItAnyway #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalquotes
