Running: A Fever

How often have you heard someone (or even yourself) say “I’d love to X, but the reality is I am,” as if to say that a door is closed to one? For example, “I would love to lose weight, but the reality is that I’m fat. I’ve always been fat, never been able to lose weight – it’s just reality and I have to accept it.” Or “I’d like to go to college, but the reality is I’m just not smart enough.” Poppycock! Nothing in the future is reality until it happens. Challenge “reality”. Question it. Make your own reality. Nothing is impossible.
