Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda

Jennifred Jones

There are three big mountains in the range of regret….shoulda, coulda and woulda.

Fortunately, we don’t have to climb those mountains anymore and fall into their valleys.

They lead to the land of discouragement, disillusionment and fear.

Nothing can be done about our past, we don’t live there anymore and it doesn’t matter what others think of it.

Let’s unpack that old climbing gear and repack with new gear and head for a different mountain range…wanna, canna, gonna.

I wanna climb this mountain.

I can climb that mountain.

I am gonna climb it and find out what’s at the top!

Trade in the shoulda, coulda, wouldas for a ‘good on me’!

ACCELERATE YOURSELF!

Jennifred Jones

Tonight during RPM bike class at the Y…all glistening in sweat climbing up and down mountains, Lisa, our instructor, said, “Accelerate yourself!”

Accelerate yourself. That stuck with me, (didn’t have my notepad handy, but I remembered it). I think she meant for us to speed it up….more like a command. But there was another hidden meaning just below the surface…waiting to be thought into existence…

To move forward, to accelerate in any area of our life…we have to do it. We have to make it happen. It is our (my) responsibility to get rolling.

I have to accelerate myself!

…accelerate myself out of bed in the morning, accelerate myself to the right frame of mind, accelerate myself to get to work on time, accelerate myself to go to the gym, accelerate myself to eat right, accelerate myself to get to bed on time, and the list goes on and on in every category of life!

Sometimes, we have to get behind ourselves and PUSH! to accelerate in the direction we really want to go.

Do you need to accelerate yourself in some areas too?

Let us push together!
