Crystal Clear Vision....

As I sit here having my Morning Coffee and dusting the cobwebs from the mind after a good night sleep, I am thinking about the story of Florence Chadwick. Who is Florence Chadwick? She is swimmer just like Diana Nyad, who swam the English Channel in both directions, that in 1952 stepped off Catalina Island with the intentions of swimming all the way to California. The day that she stepped into the water, there was a heavy fog, and with just 1/2 mile to the shore she begged to be taken into the boat. After the swim, she said that if she had seen the shore, she would have pushed through and made it to shore. 

Now, what does that mean to everyday life you might ask? Think about it...How many of us have a clear path or a crystal clear goal that we are trying to reach? If she had seen the shore she would have truly made it to her goal but because she could not see it, she did not. I think every morning, we need to take 5 minutes to see in our mind, what the goal is that we are trying to reach. When times get tough, we need to reach back and visualize what we are trying to achieve. We all face adversity when trying to reach a goal but with a crystal clear vision, we can achieve it.
