What you believe

Let me tell a short story.

This story is about your powerful mind.

20 years ago I ventured into a bike store.

 I had run everything up to a

50K (31 mile run) over the years.

I was looking for something that

might be easier on my body.

Marathons and such were a

little stressful to the joints.

So as I looked and discussed

bicycles with a young man.

I ask him what people did on the bikes.

He said very unassuming "they do centuries".

"What is that?" I ask.

He said it is 100 miles on the bike.

Nuff said, I decided to take my

new bike out and see what

it was like to be a cyclist.

Over the next few months,

every other week I would

go northeast of Dallas

and ride 75 to 105 miles.

Three months go by and I stop by

 to visit with my new found friend.

I dropped the bike off for a tune up.

He stopped me and ask,

man what are you doing to this bike?

It looks like you have been

riding Hundreds of miles.

So I explained to him what I was doing.

He could not believe that I was

riding 100 miles without support.

After firing several questions

my way he began to laugh.

You see I thought everyone was

riding bikes like that daily.

He went on to tell me that

 I should have a team van, and

on, and on, and on...

Truth was what my mind believed

was normal, was normal to me.

We allow people to set our standards.

Set your own standards.

Don't measure yourself against others.

Look in the mirror.

Imagine what you can do, and do it!

Have a great attitude today!
