Some thoughts...

Found this quote on a marathon training website and I love it and it is so true.

"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the 
mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give 
up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the 
mind is not tired." 
- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

 Also I was listening to Joel Osteen this morning and he was talking about the labels we put on ourselves or the labels others put on us and how all we should care about is what God thinks of us. I usually don't get all religious or anything on my blog but I really like Joel Osteen because he's not specific to one religion he just give great talks to so many people and has some great thoughts. Anyways, he talked about how a bumble bee scientifically should not be able to fly. The way its body structure is with its wings there is no way it can fly and scientists labeled the bumble bee as "grounded". The only problem was that the bumble bee couldn't hear what the scientists said all they knew was that God told him they could fly and so they did. I love this story. A lot of times we get so caught up in what we think we can't do or what others tell us we can't when really what does God think we are capable of? Anything and everything we just have to get rid of those labels.
