Jumping the gate

It’s amazing how easy it is to jump a gate when there is something you really want on the other side.

I watched Hazel easily climb over the gate this week, frantically catching up to Olive and Karina on their morning run. The challenge of leaping this obstacle disappeared behind Hazel’s lazer focus on catching up.

This could be said about most challenges in life. When we put our energy into focusing on the obstacles, they often seem insurmountable.

When we instead shift our focus to a clear goal or purpose, the challenges barely seem noticeable.

Quit fixating on the barrier.

Keep your eye on the prize.
