Motivation is to be found in the Obstacles

Where do you find Your motivation

In training for the Bribie Island adventure race the Kayak section is big chunk of time out of the event and if it is not a discipline that is trained for you are going to suffer.

My training buddies and I get down to the water after work during the week for a 1.5 hour session a generally against the tide haul, depending on the tide it can be a strong tidal race and if it is a wind on tide its a lively ride.

Dale lives quite close to the ramp and

has a novel method of getting the kayak to the water,

now you have to agree that he has come up

with quite a contraption but what the heck it works.

Idle daydreams

There is always the possibility of finding an excuse for not following your goal, no matter if it be a training goal, or a life goal this is one of the obvious connections between sport and life.

If you are willing to get up to the start line you need to be connected to your true intent then there will be no excuses, a desire based on a whim is just a daydream and you need more then just idle daydreams to weather the voice of the inner critic.

Connect to your true intent and you will be empowered to rise above all obstacles and this holds true in all aspects of your life. Dale could have easily said I would love to go training with you but I can’t get the Kayak to the water but he is connected to a motivation that takes an obstacle an uses it as a stepping stone not a wall.

You will eventually get smooth waters and wonderful sunsets on your way

As always love to hear back from you all

Hey what are you using for excuses…….?  Can you change it around and use it to get your self motivated and get closer to your goals

    So apt in my life right now. I have a chronic case of excusitis. Never really managed to get to the bottom of it. But I’m stepping up to the plate, looking forward to meeting you at the GC marathon if not before. xx

    It is all about stepping up to the start line ” excusitis. ” and “startlineitus ” is another form of the two wolves fighting story …….. which one wins ?…….. The one that you feed most.

    So see you at the start line
