Running Through Pain

Run through the annoyance and stop at the pain.  A friend of mine told me that one day and I always have it in the back of my mind. Annoyance yes, pain no! I always hated the saying "No Pain No Gain", people think it has to hurt to work not true. Pain is a signal that somethings not right. Pain awakens us so we can evaluate the real deal. Don't keep running with the pain or through the pain, don't medicate the pain, evaluate the cause of the pain. Sometimes that means we have to stop and take a few steps back or even start over. If we don't stop at the pain, eventually it will stop us. We wont be able move4word because of the damage we have cause to ourselves believing we can deal with the pain. When we don't stop at pain, we never get a chance to look at where something went wrong for the pain to start. Lack of preparation, bad training(partners/advice), bad habits, bad form, old accessories... the list goes on. I have only to learn to stop at pain through experience, now when there is pain I stop and heed the warnings. I want to excel but I cant do it if I am huddled over in pain. Something to think about when training for life or races.

Scars ...Constant Reminder

Scars Never Let us Forget Walking through your grief does not mean you forget. In John Chapter 5 we read Jesus asked the lame man at the Bethesda waters if he wanted to be healed.  Here we have a man who after possibly decades of being lame dealing with loss, grief and shame was asked by a total stranger if he wanted to be healed.   What you may noticed he never really answered Jesus, he sorta skirted around the question.  I do not know if it was because of fear, disbelief or reluctance that caused him to avoid answering. Like the lame man at the pool, most people we know are going through their own personal grief, loss, defeat.  With grief some people may not want to be healed because of what they feel they may have to give up.   We may feel that our loss is so great that if we let go of the hurt and pain we will let go of any connection we had with that person.  Healing means forgetting. Just like Jesus asked the lame man if he ...

Moving Forward

Even if you don't believe in scripture you cannot deny this and how it applies to life...."forget what is behind me and do my best to reach what is ahead. 14 So I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize..." You can't continue to look back and live in the past if you want to move forward towards your goal.  Keep moving forward.  Use your experience as a guide not something that you continue to squat in.  You don't live there anymore.  You are in the present trying to move to better and greater things.  Be blessed!  #heb12v1 #imcoz2017 #coachk #3n1coach #trainHard #m4w

Thank you to all who donated!  There are so many who are homeless and a new blanket or toy for their furbabies can make a small difference and hopefully encourage them and let them know people do care!  Thank you @imperfect_yet and Dream Angels for your blessings!!! Matthew 25:35 “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." #m4w #heb12v1 #homelessness #homelessshelter https://plus.google.com/118403063028433944284/posts/C5PPkWMB7ZT?iem=4&gpawv=1&hl=en-US
