A woman trained for quite some time to swim the English Channel--it was her goal, her dream, her obsession to accomplish this challenging feat. Fewer people have made the 21-mile swim across the English Channel than have climbed Mount Everest. The first time she failed. And the second time too. However, by the time of her third attempt, all the pieces seemed to be in place. She worked harder than shed ever worked before, getting into the best physical and mental condition possible. She was certain that this would be her time--that victory would be hers. And it almost was. After swimming more than 20 miles in frigid water, she got to within 400 yards of the opposite shore, and then she quit--exhausted, defeated. Tragically, as she neared the shore, a thick fog enveloped her, and she became disoriented--blind to her surroundings. And because she couldnt see the shore, she didnt know how close--or how far--she was to achieving her goal. Overcome with exhaustion and uncertainty, the woman gave up, climbed into her rescue boat, and took what turned out to be a very short ride to shore. It was only then that she realized her heartbreaking error. Patricia keeps this story in her back pocket for those times in her life when quitting seems to be the only option--when shes beyond exhaustion, when pain racks her body, and everything within her screams out for her to stop. When you think you are at the end of the rope and about to let go, remind yourself of this story. Know that although you cant see the end point, your goal is in reach. Push away the doubts, ignore the pain and exhaustion, and keep your focus on achieving your goals. People are counting on you.
