Dush-it's amazing the impact 3 days of immobility can have, isn't it?

I had a weird hip injury that was completely unrelated to lifting as I wasn't doing any exercise. It resulted in me barely being able to walk for 3 days. After that experience I realised how amazing it is just to walk.

I've always had chronic back pain and now it's my hips, it's not diagnosed and I've tried everything I can think of to treat it which has resulted in me being able to weight train. However whenever I get frustrated that I cannot sprint or squat heavy I remind myself of those 3 days.

Your positivity is great. Any moment you spend angry, jealous or unhappy is a moment you'll never get back to be happy.

Jon-your comment really touched me! I feel honored to know you and I appreciate your feedback and encouragement more than you know.

Heidi-it's been almost 3 years since my surgery but I might just write about it!

Neghar--
Thank you! Finding and soaking your words in could not have come at a better time for me. I so needed this gentle reminder to remove the toxic from my heart & mind while pressing on & living out of the positive, life bearing energy that is ever-present for me. Again, thank you. Many blessings!!

Neghar, what a WONDERFUL post! I absolutely loved it. I will be the first to say that I've had the most profound experiences while running.

Neghar. I am an action person. In fact, I've made it clear to my following that every article on the internet SHOULD be actionable. I do not enjoy thought pieces, inspirational posts nor do I find rants productive.

Getting to know you has been an absolute pleasure. Every interaction we have reaffirms my gut feeling to contact you and attempt to sell you on my idea. (Which you've been instrumental in building).

This article is the exception to my rule. Rarely do I read a piece (let alone a piece on the internet) that so beautifully illustrates the important things in life. The emotion you were able to generate from me in reading this short article was overwhelming culminating in the picture of the agility ladder in the sand.

I want you to know that you have conjured up a new metaphor that I plan to use. Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed, shy, or embarrassed I am going to remember the ladder in the sand.

Thank you.
