“Find a way.” Diana Nyad
There are many inspirational people in the world who have faced incredible odds and overcome them. At the age of 64, swimmer Diana Nyad swam from Cuba to Florida, a journey of 110 miles. When asked how she faced the many challenges of this quest including sharks, jelly fish stings, extreme fatigue and damaging sun burn she said every time things looked impossible she would determine to find a way forward. Her desire to succeed was so great that no matter how hard things looked she knew she could find a way – and she did. We may never face a physical challenge as great as this but we will endure difficult situations that test our resolve and willingness to go forward. Sometimes we may be confident of success but other times we may doubt our ability to survive. There really isn’t anything we can’t overcome and there are no problems without resolutions. We discover hidden courage and resilience when we walk through turbulent and threatening trials. Everything we need is already there within us. We can reach deep and capture all the strength necessary to win. No matter what comes we can find a way to move forward and get to the other side. We are stronger than we realize. Nothing will hold us down and we will succeed.
In baseball, when a hitter swings and misses the ball a strike is called. After three strikes the hitter is out and can no longer continue to try. Although we may stumble, there are no strikeouts in our lives. We have unlimited chances to find the answers we need. There is no scorecard and we will never be out of the game. If we don’t succeed with the first choice, we can choose again. If our second choice fails as well, we can continue. We learn as we go and each fumble teaches us something new and gives us more information. Nothing will keep us from finding the solution and with each step forward we will get closer to the goal.
After trying several options that don’t work we may become discouraged and believe we will never succeed. There are rarely times in our lives when we must find the answers within a given time frame. We can take all the time we need to find the best way forward. There is no one right way to do anything. We have unlimited options from which to choose and we will find the answers we need. If we trust ourselves and take the time necessary to see all the options available we will find a way. There isn’t anything we can’t accomplish. We are strong and capable and nothing is too hard for us to overcome.
Today if you’re facing a difficult situation and feel like you can’t figure it out, step back and take a moment to see everything clearly. You are smarter than you think you are and you know what you need to do. The answers will come and you will find the way forward. Everything is already there for you and you will succeed. Trust yourself. You are amazing and you will find the way.
