~:[CH7 - Day 307]:~ Motivation Helping Overcome Pain

My head still was hurting a bit, my back was sore and my emotions were a little off. I've always been more of a stonewall of emotions and today was no different. Regardless, whether mental, emotional or physical pain, it all becomes something you can deal with when inspiration and motivation surrounds you. One of my closest friends is working on a project to help all those in need, to create champions and to help student identify who they are and essentially find direction (https://www.lifegyde.com/). She has always been a life supporter and motivator to me and I have appreciated all the support that our group of three have provided each other over the years. It's people like this that make these difficult days easy to overcome. I was also lucky enough to meet another motivation in my life over the weekend, the Bladress. She completed an amazing 3850 mile journey across the United States on roller blades depending on the generosity of people to get by. Her stories exemplify that there is goodness in people beyond what we realize and that with the right people, people are willing to open up their heats and homes to those around. In the process of the journey, she raised enough money to support the education of 61 girls. I was reminded that even on a journey like this that sounds so impossible and thus so amazing, that anything is possible. That even when you're physically drained, emotionally weighed down, or mentally fatigued, that you can push through and do something that others think is simply crazy. Yes, today was a tough day for me, but I used my stonewall to keep my emotions in check and stayed positive, using the motivations like the ones aforementioned to make it through. As I drove down and back to Carlsbad for a quick errand turned into a journey, I didn't think, this is going to be a miserable ride, rather, I thought, I can deal with this, because those around me have overcome so much more. In the end, the journey was worth it. As difficult as the past two days have been, my heart was no longer heavy and my spirits were definitely up! We have to choice to let our pains in life stop us in our tracks or we can continue to push forward to see what is possible. We will never accomplish those things considered great if we cannot get through these difficult times and with the right motivation and inspiration, it's all possible. I am so Blessed to have these people around me and look forward to all the amazing people awaiting me in the future, as they are the ones who will help you overcome all that is difficult in life.
