"Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even." Muhammad Ali

My dilemma is I never know when to stop! When to stop pushing! Stop wanting! Stop running!

And when to stop chasing my dreams.

“You need to slow down”, everyone says to me.

In my head, I can’t stop aiming, I can’t stop trying, and I can’t stop believing - that somewhere out there I am living my destiny. And it’s for real this time.

I have often pushed myself to the extreme and last week was no different. I fell ill with the flu. Sometimes you forget that you are not a machine.
But sometimes you just feel so anxious that if you close your eyes for long enough your dreams will slowly slip away from you.

But then I slowed down. I took a long hard look at myself – where I was now, and what I’m striving for.
I have a degree; I’m a life coach; I’m a personal trainer, I’m a mentor. All these things I have succeeded at.

A year ago I entered into an entrepreneurial scholar program and won the money to launch my conference company. What a boost!
I convinced myself it would be successful and I poured my heart and soul into it.
How wrong I was. I made a mistake and the company was bankrupted, a year ago.

I was in debt, and so down – I honestly thought I had nothing left.
But I brushed myself down.

I had to forget about failure, and I had to get up and start all over again. What’s that they say? When you aim high, your fall is a long way down.

It’s not easy.

But today, when I look in the mirror, I know, if I slow down, assess my goals, and focus… I know the day will come when I will make it.
