~:[CH12 - Day 53]:~ Fighting Against the Wind

The storm was rolling in as the winds began to pick up. It was quite the cold day as while there was little to no rain, the wind was bone chilling. It ended up being a day where we just tried to survive. As we rolled to the track, we ran intervals today as the meet tomorrow was postponed due to weather. The athletes battled as the home stretch had a nasty headwind they had to battle. They were blown around, but never were they knocked down. We face those times in our lives where we face moments of great resistance. We feel like we won't be going anywhere and we know there is trouble ahead, however, we keep pushing forward. It would be easy to bow out of the workout, but many of these athletes continued to battle through the entire workout. Life is the same. We have the choice to call it quits, the question is, will we? I've seen the grit of many deteriorate over the past few years, but slowly, I see that grit returning in some. I am hoping that many more will continue to do that and rather than letting the wind blow them away, they will face it head on and keep pushing forward, no matter how long it takes them to get to the finish line. Ultimately, the forecast stayed true and when we get the same challenging forecast in life, I hope that we don't allow ourselves to give up, allowing ourselves to show that we can face up to all the resistance life can throw at us.
