Test Your Limits and Grow!Unless you try to do something beyond what you’ve already mastered, you will never grow. That was the statement I left behind on a piece of paper as I bolted out the door to get in a mountain bike ride before the sun set. I had no idea at that point how important those words would become. Mountain biking off trails can be quite intimidating, with dirt ruts and uneven ground to navigate. I made my way down a foot-wide groove, keeping my eyes focused ahead, building confidence with speed. Just when I was feeling comfortably exhilarated, my course led to a frighteningly steep drop off the hillside. Panicking, I skidded to a halt. I paused, sized it up, and thought, “I can do it.” I forged ahead, only to find myself gripping the brakes for a second time, and then, a third. Turning away, I thought, “I’ll try it another time.” I headed back in the direction I’d come, only to hear the phrase I’d left behind on that sheet of paper. Have you ever felt you wanted to forget something and just go on?I tried, but I couldn’t get that phrase out of my head. The urge to master that drop kept nagging, until I finally stopped and turned my bike around. With my heart pounding and sweat beading up on the palms of my hands, I headed right for the drop off. I don’t even think I took a breath before flying over that ridge. Elated, I sailed down the incline, as if I’d done it a million times. You could hear me shout from the top of my lungs, “Yes!!! I did it!” The words casually scrawled on a piece of paper that afternoon came to life. Is there something in your life that brings you to a halt? Maybe it’s time to test your limits and marvel at the view from the other side. Toni
