Do it Anyway
Morning Mantra: \u201cDon\u2019t let what you can\u2019t do stop you from what you can do.\u201d
I call this the defeatist attitude, you\u2019ve heard it, or maybe have it.
Since I can\u2019t run 3 miles, I might as well not even try to run one.\xa0
Since I can\u2019t 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\u2019t 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.\xa0
I may not be as confident in the saddle anymore, but at least I am in the saddle.
Don\u2019t give up on something that you really love, or want, just because you aren\u2019t good at it. It\u2019s not only about how well you do things, it\u2019s also about doing what you enjoy.
