Hurdles

Life is a series of hurdles. Running forward at full speed and suddenly you have to lift, arch and stretch over the hurdle. There is a science to running hurdles...you actually have to stretch forward towards the hurdle...reaching...reaching...reaching...eyes on a space ahead of you. You never look at what anyone else is doing...always eyes forward.

We can take a lesson from the hurdler. Life is a series of hurdles. Bumps in the road, trying to make you stumble. But, if you can keep your heart positive and stretch above the bump, eyes to the future, you will land sure footed on the other side.

And if you were to continue along this analogy...as you are at the peak of the challenge and you are stretching towards the future, with you eyes focused ahead...the view can be beautiful.
