Moving forward - Day 246

10 days ago I was in a hotel, Paralysed by an inability to make a decision, Do I continue as I am? Restructure my approach? Quit? Can I continue as I am? That feasibility report was akin to a pin slowly deepening itself into my skull, I will admit I was frozen from action, How to proceed was beyond me, In the end I decided just proceed, See what happens, This isn't rock bottom, I would know rock bottom, I wouldn't have anything to think about, The decision would be made by circumstance. And I did so, Quickly I was reminded an important lesson, Einstein once said "Life is like a bicycle, you fall of when you stop moving" Whenever I stop, The wave of insecurity against my feat engulfs me, I find myself fighting the waves, The more I resist, The more water fills my lungs, Once I am moving however I float, I progress, Lesson: Keep moving, make decisions when moving, Make decisions from a position of strength, Don't even linger on feasibility in stagnation. It is in the midst of movement where the brain feels most empowered, and in those moments there is no task too big Current status: I walked my way to Gelibolu (ish) couldn't make it by nightfall so I did get a bus for the last bit, Reasoning, I am currently back in Istanbul, In preparation to climb mount Uladag. Before retuning to the road. Do I have questions around fitness, finance and future of course. This is when the 4th F come's in. Faith. You cannot do what I do without it, I know all good that has come to me is deliverence, I don't even know how many bad's I have been saved from, how many cars have missed by 10cm, How many aggressive animals I missed by 5 minutes, How anything can happen, I am thankful for my safety, security, and ability to continue. Moving forward we are climbing now, weather is going from averaging 30 degrees to averaging 35 :/ The challenge is real.
