When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, “I used everything you gave me.” Erma Bombeck
When I run and do other exercise, I have noticed that I hold something back, almost never going flat out.
It’s easy to do that in life too; to hold something back.
Holding back can be related to fears of failing and of running out. If you lack faith in the universe's abundance, you won't trust it to continually provide and renew.
If I breath too heavy, I may run out of air. If I run too hard, I may run out of muscle strength. If I enjoy too much, I may run out of luck.
When I started to notice how much I hold myself back, I realised I can no longer blame others, the economy or any external condition if I feel my life is lacking something. I have to be willing to go flat out—give all I’ve got. Only then can I say that I truly tried.
