"Sometimes it is more important to discover what one cannot do than what one can." Lin Yutang
I have discovered all sorts of things that I can do. I can pull myself up. I can push myself out. I can lift the weight of the world off my shoulders. In doing this, I've also discovered that I push just enough until I have the slightest amount of success, then I move on and call it a success. I have proven I can run faster; I've proven that I can run farther. I can push hard and get to where I want to be now.
However, I have yet to run faster and farther to the point that I cannot. I need to feel that place of being, to exist in the "cannot". That is when I will truly be able to see the truth of what I can. That is the level that has been missing, and the drive that has been lost. The "cannot" is the guts and the glory.
Tomorrow morning I will go until I find "cannot". I doubt it will be found at the end of the rainbow, but it will be somewhere beautiful.
In searching,

About Me
- Beth
- I am a girl who grew into a woman and somewhere got lost in the shuffle. Spending this year finding myself, saving my life, and loving every minute, good or bad. I have two sons, two stepsons, one husband, two jobs, two dogs, and a ton of family and friends to keep up with... I love natural ways of living, drug and chemical free that is... I own a restaurant with my Mother, I use and sell Arbonne and am building those businesses and now add writing to the resume. I am changing my life for the better because I should and I can. I love my husband more than I could imagine ever loving anyone. That is a great place to start each day.
