it's after 10 o'clock at night, i'm tired, i'm sore and i'm feeling alittle less motivated than i have been lately. with a bit more than 4 months yet to go before we head for africa, it's easy to to get stuck in a rut and simply be tired of all the training and other preparations that we're doing to be as ready as we can be for kilimanjaro. after all, this trip has been on the forefront of most everything that i've done in the last 2 1/2 months to this point. not to mention, though i'm about to, all the everyday life 'stuff' that still has to be taken care of and demands my time and energy. no wonder i'm tired! BUT...
our goal is not for the weak. it's not for the timid or unmotivated person. and even as i write this i'm feeling the motivation creep in, the goosebumps form, and the desire to do everything i can to make this trip a success. this isn't the first time and i'm sure it won't be the last that times get tough, either mentally of physically, but i truly am inspired by our trip's purpose and the mere thought of who it might effect and in what ways it might change their lives makes my complaints seem petty. it motivates me. keeps me pushing. i came across a qoute from winston churchill the other day that reads, "success is the ablility to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm". i think the guy was on to something!
