When I was injured for 9 weeks, at times it could get so frustrating..I was telling myself - I should have been training hard and racing by this time of the year already, I am a loser, etc,etc...But then I remembered what I was reading as a teenager - mistakes we make should become our lessons. What's the point of making mistakes if you are not learning from them? That's why I reminded myself - don't worry, you'll come back stronger than ever, take your time, rest, get well and enjoy every single day, because it's beautiful. It did help me and I really hope it helps others or maybe even inspires someone.
Live now, in the present. Much love.
