Saw Rock City

I once heard John Maxwell say "Sometimes the place where we quit is on the edge of success."

I think a lot of us find ourselves at the edge of our lives -- the edge of our weight loss, fitness, business, relationships, career.  We stand face to face with quitting or continuing.  We are at the point of giving up or going on.  We are at an edge...

If you have ever been to Rock City in Chattanooga, TN you had the opportunity to walk out onto Lover's Leap.  Lover's Leap is a rock ledge that hangs out hundreds of feet over a valley below.  Off to one side is a waterfall crashing to valley floor.  If you look straight down it can be a frightening veiw point.  But if you look out aheaad you will have the opportunity to see something spectacular.  From that one piece of ground, you have the vantage point of seeing 7 different states.

What I have learned about health, fitness and even life is that we can either look straight over the edge at the potential fall or lookout over the possibilities.  If you are like me, your edges have caused you too often to quit.  The fear of the fall and overwhelming vision of what is immediately below captured my attention more than the great things that lie ahead.  If you simply look down, you never see Georgia, Alabama or the Carolinas.  Alll you see the potential fall...

We all come to the edge at some point.  The choice is yours...do you simply see the potential fall or can you see the great things that lie ahead?  I got my eyes set on what lies ahead!

Live with hope!
