sometimes I miss the 2 year old me.
(that's me in the middle.. I think I was 3 here :)
You know 2 year olds... the "me do it by meself" attitude. The "look at me.. watch meeeee!".. the "happy go lucky I rule the world and I can do anything" 2 year old.
yeah
sometimes I miss that me I use to be.
If I have learned anything over the past few years its that mental-spiritual attitude is key to success.
We think-pray who we become.
BUT
Negativity is a part of our world.
So, what happens to people. What happened to me? What happened to the "I can conquer the world" 2 year old me?
.. Society, Life, Events and People corrupted my thinking. Soon I began believing what the world was saying about me and not what God said about me.
You see.. God says I am worth it. God says I am beautiful, smart, intelligent, and worth listening too!
God listens to me.. doesn't he?? how powerful is that?
I believe God whispers to little ones. God whispers his love thoughts to those babies and toddlers. But the world, the corrupt and imperfect world creeps in and years go by and we are left with shells of who we started out to be.
Marathoning has giving part of my 2 year old self back to me. Every mile I fight for, every training mile I log, every meal I eat, every food I pass by or say no too because of what it does to my body and the training, every bit of it.. brings me closer to my Godself.
My original person. The person I was always meant to be.
Negativity and poor self talk creep in. Refusing to listen to others who want to demean or tell me I cant is what its all about. The 2 year old me would scream and say "YES ME CAN!"
We need buffers in this life. Buffers from those who wish to tear us down and hold us back from being who God wants us to be.
So today when I was running sprints and thinking I was looking a fool. Wondering why in the world would I put myself through this.... I thought of my 2 year old self. The I can do anything Godself. ...I visualized myself screaming "I CAN DO IT ME SEEEEELF"
and.
I did.
2 mile run fast pace, 10 sprints, cool down.
and closer to that 2 year old self and more in tune with God and my place in this world.
