Slow and Steady wins the race


By now you are probably beginning to see that pushing your limits is a simple process of examining your repetitive thoughts and beliefs, challenging your perceptions and pushing through any perceived limitations. Remember, limitations are nothing without the power you give them. If you refuse to infuse them with power they are nothing but a random, harmless thought. They may seem overwhelming at first, but once you take them apart and look at them under a microscope you see how inconsequential they really are in the grand scheme of things.

Still, until you have reached a certain point in the process you would be well-advised to take it slow. Just as pushing too hard physically can result in injury, pushing too hard mentally or emotionally can result in disappointment and frustration

One step at a time will get you where you want to go, and probably result in a more pleasant journey too. Your progress will begin to accumulate on its own soon enough, but in the meantime take it easy! 

Try attacking one thing each day, even if it’s something small. Face one fear, dissect one doubt, question one belief – and repeat the next day. As you begin feeling stronger you can take on more than one at a time, but start small. 

Then, don’t hesitate after each step you take. Don’t wait to see if you get any “results” from it – just keep moving slowly and steadily. You’ll be astounded at how quickly the process begins to snowball and return real results. But if you hang around waiting for them, they might be delayed. Remember, “A watched pot never boils.”
