I am a promise with a capital “P”

Posted by Aundra

Last week I learned two valuable lessons. The first is acknowledging self-discipline, the ability that I can keep on going despite what feels like low reserves. The second, I can now open my mind to all possibilities.

The decision to climb the hill came at a split second after a friend’s invite. I was stressed, weak and physically not prepared. I stocked up for the mission but uncertainty was at the forefront of my mind.

Ready, Set, No!!

The path between the starting line and the final destination was a long winding road I crept slowly, my calves growled for mercy, my throat stretched and pleaded for water I somehow managed to cross the finish line.

OK, the actuality I didn’t rebel. Respecting my efforts, respecting my self was firmly tightened under my belt.

As I walked, each day was different, climbing the hill got harder by the day and the weather was never certain. My muscles bled, my blood overheated and my mind was open to all, if not every possibility.

The principle seems to be : If you don’t give up, if you don’t lose hope, if you don’t sell out–anything is possible.

I am a promise, I am a possibility, I’m a great big bundle of potentiality.
