Reflecting today...

Finally I have sometime to write about this today...

This morning, I woke up with this feeling of being alone for a while. I checked my agenda to see what I had to do to train for the triathlon and it says running for 35 minutes... so I got ready and decided to go to Town Lake to do that.

On my way there, I took Cesar Chavez St, and it was open until Congress, so I made a left in Congress and a right at Barton Spring. While doing this, I was just thinking that life is just like that... You can be going on some direction and have some obstacles in your way... Some people just give up and think that they are failures and feel defeated, but others just take the risk and try to reroute their journey to get what they want.

It was amazing to take an alternate route to get to Town Lake today, a route I almost never use. While I was on the road, I was contemplating the view, the trees, the people, the lake... and I thought that sometimes we just miss so much in life... We focus all ourselves to get the fastest way anywhere and give up if we cannot do it the first time as we planned. I challenge you next time that an obstacle comes on the way of you and your dream to reroute your path and keep going there until you can reach it... You will be amazed of all the good things you are going to find in your new way! Never give up on your dreams!

While running, I was thinking about a hill that I hate to run on. I was so tired that I didn't want to run it. In the meanwhile I just start thinking about getting into my car as soon as possible. I kept running and when I look where I was on the trail, I just found out that I passed the hill and I didn't remember that I actually run it! WOW!

So with this, I just want to tell you guys, that no matter the circumstances of life, we can get through them if we just focus on our goal. Maybe your hill is to get a new job, a house, a person, to get healthier or any other stuff... Just visualize yourself getting there and ignore the obstacles on your way that stops you to get where you want to be.... I challenge you to run that hill that might slow you down for a while but will take you everyday a little bit closer to your dream!

Remember, behind a cloudy sky there is a brilliant sun of hope ready to illuminate your life. Just try to see it!
