Do what you can

“To achieve greatness, start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.” - Arthur Ashe, tennis legend.

Today I came across this quote and it could not have come at a better time.

Six weeks out to IRONMAN African Championship and the mind games have set in bug time. Many prolonged times where I doubt myself and start thinking of excuses to not train - or even stand on that start line.

And then there are times when my sense of purpose in facing these challenges kicks in and that warm fuzzy feeling of confidence fills my heart - and drives energy into my body.

Also knowing that I am also contributing through Ironman4TheKidz to making the lives of a few a little better adds to that sense of purpose.
