A Beautiful Saturday.
by Thera Storm
Being outside on a Saturday morning put me a great place… a place of knowing that I never want to spend my life indoors. I want to take advantage of this beautiful world. I want to live every second like it’s my last. I want to embrace life – the ups and downs – and have fun being active. I’m not sure if I want children… but if I do become a mommy – I want to show them how fun life can be without video games, T.V. and indoor laziness.
The thoughts about “living life” made me think about dying, too.
When I die – I don’t want to have regrets.
At the end… I don’t want it to be revealed to me that there were so many things I was capable of doing… that I DIDN’T DO – because of insecurities or FALSE senses of boundaries that never really existed.
What am I capable of?
I won’t know unless I try new things. Take on challenges and give every moment 100%.
I never thought I’d be doing pull-ups. It was something that I was NOT capable of… but I got there from trying something new and training. Hard.
What comes next?
A Masters degree. A career. A new business? A 300# deadlift?
Who knows. I just want to put myself out there. No one is paying attention to me — so why let others dictate the new things that I try? So I may fail. Actually, I know I’ll fail. I fail every day. But at least I’m moving towards a goal. And I’m finding the real boundaries of what I’m capable of.
So when I die… I’ll know I took advantage of every beautiful second God gave me.
