valley of the deep plateaus

there is something about running that puts this little voice on megaphone blast in your head. you can suddenly hear so clearly "stop, you can't do this anymore. you're gonna die! no seriously, stop. just stop right here, give up." and somehow when you keep pushing past that voice, you CAN achieve what you and that little voice in your head thought was impossible. every time i hit the track, i'm reminded of what i need to push past in my daily life. i'm reminded that that little voice lives in me all the time and i need to ignore it....because in the end, it's worth it. i can always come out on top if i try hard enough. i need to try harder. so i've decided to stop this vicious cycle of self pity and confused-ness. a list of positive things for me to remember follows.

1. i DO love my dreams.
2. i AM willing to work hard to make them a reality.
3. i DESERVE good things.
4. i also deserve to be LOVED by GOOD people.
5. i am TOTALLY capable of achieving my goals. each. and. every. last. one.
6. i am BEAUTIFUL.
7. again, i am FULL of BEAUTY.
8. i have a GREAT smile that deserves to be shared every day.
9. im really good at making friends. REALLY good.
10. when i feel alone, my FRIENDS are there for me. i can always count on them.
11. i am STRONG.
12. i will get everything i want....IN DUE TIME.
13. there IS a man out there who will fill that really huge small void i feel.
14. i am GREAT at making people laugh.
15. i have pretty nails. and that DOES count.
