Spartan Series #78 Impossible Until It’s Done!

Wow! Some of the deepest truths are right in front of us and only need to be stated or revealed. Bunches of times all of us have taken on something with the attitude that this whole effort is “impossible” and so we ask, “why start on it anyway.?” We essentially have decided that we are doomed before we even start. I hate this feeling that the task we have to complete is too big, too hard or unreachable. I think I should just go home, leaving the job undone.

Well, the truth that often reveals itself is, “Get your butt in gear and start. The rest will fall into place and the job will be completed.” Bingo! A great bit of wisdom is also imparted to our unbelieving heart.

Bodybuilding for me has the same self-defeating pitfalls. Each time I get up on stage I think that I’m too fat. Not big enough. I’m not good at posing. In my case, “I’m too old. Its’ easy to scrap the entire contest for any or all of these reasons/excuses. But, I don’t. I do my best no matter what. Along the way I am imparted a large dose of wisdom. God says, “You do the work and I will finish the course with you.” Sometimes I’m a world beater and other times I’m not that good. But, the take home is that “All things seem impossible until it’s done.” Don’t look back and focus only on finishing well. This is success! Nobody can ever take it away from you.

I am happy to take on the “impossible.“ Beat it to death until “IT’S DONE.” In my life this is job one and it needs to be the same for all of us.
