Men of Fuel.
Over the last couple of years “Adventure/Obstacle†races have been taking the country by storm. Warrior Dash, Tough –Mudder, Muddy Buddy are a few of them, but the one that seems to be getting the most recognition is the Spartan Race . Crazy that as dangerous as they are these races are selling out at a record pace. Perhaps there is something inside of us that feels called to that which is not safe, something that comes alive outside of the routine where we spend so much of our life.
I have included the link for the Spartan Race (http://www.spartanrace.com/) because I thought the video, when you open the link, did a good job of capturing the idea of what we discussed last week. Not to mention that I loved the fact that they included the quote from Rocky Balboa that we discussed last year.
Below is the quote that is also heard during the video.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.â€
Have you been liberated from your own fear?
Set your alarms and join us on Wednesday morning for week two of our current series “Safeâ€: Limit day.
See you on Wednesday
