My husband Ashkan and I went on a spontaneous #MountainBiking ride today, well spontaneous for me because he was planning on going already and I chose to join him last minute 😝
There were some intense paths I’ve never done before with lots of rocks, puddles, and even rivers! 😳
Had I known, I probably would NOT have gone but thankfully neither of us knew there was gonna be THAT much water 💦, long trails of big rocks, and mud everywhere so I just kept singing in my Dori 🐠 voice 😂 🎶 “Just keep peddling! Just keep peddling!” 🎶 thanks to Ashkan’s coaching and made it thru most of it! It’s amazing how peddling through it all makes it much easier rather than letting the bike roll through… learned that lesson today 😉
For those of you wondering, I did NOT make it all the way through the tougher & steeper parts, we had to turn back around, yet I will never look at this is a failure! 🤩 This was a HUGE growth for me…
The way up I felt less confident and walked my bike 🚲 through some of the rocks, puddles and river parts, but the way back I not only surprised myself, but surprised Ashkan too! 😍 Wish I had some video of it 😔 oh well 🤷🏻♀️ I am definitely feeling proud right now and looking forward to going again Sunday! 😝
On the way back down, as I was flying through the parts I was scared of earlier and noticing the massive improvement in just one day, it made me think of struggles in life… it made me think of how when we are faced with challenges and struggles, we have a choice to QUIT & give up OR push through and take the risk! 💪🏼
By choosing the former we will never know our own #WillPower and STRENGTH within us whereas the latter gives us a chance… an opportunity to see WHAT IF it could go a different way? And WHAT IF that risk and chance will have us end up STRONGER, more EXPERIENCED, GROW, and feel more CONFIDENT in ourselves than ever before?! 😍
And sometimes the path may get more intense, challenge us even more and feel like it’s a test of our #BeliefSystem, our #WillPower, our #Strength, and our Faith… but when we choose to BELIEVE in ourselves anyway, when we CHOOSE the risk and another tougher challenge approaches, and then we choose believing in ourselves yet again… THEN the Universe has NO OTHER CHOICE but to respond to our BELIEF! 🙌🏼
When you’re faced with a breakdown, a struggle, a challenge, or whatever you may call it, have the COURAGE to face it and breakthrough it! BELIEVE IN YOU!!! Because the bigger the BREAKDOWN, the bigger the BREAKTHROUGH! Just look up all those inspirational & motivational speakers and influencers out there… EVERY.SINGLE.ONE has had some major breakdown in their life and look at where they are now! 🥰
Life may present you with all kinds obstacles and all it is is an opportunity to get over that hurdle, conquer it, and become stronger on the other side! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
