Serial Prompt! Part Two Prompt for January 30, 2014:
Give me your best advice when trying something new. On the first day (yesterday), tell me the story of when you tried something for the first time and failed. What did you do after that? On the second day (today), tell me about a future plan to try something new (a New Year's Resolution perhaps?). We all know writing down our goals can help in motivating us to achieve them - so don't delay! Wink Your blogging peers will support you!


I've thought about competing in a Strong(wo)man competition before and after helping out with Prodigy Strongman (PS 2014) (circa "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.) I'm even more interested. Thing is when I do something, especially a competition (perhaps in part to my past exuberant failures at a young age, note yesterdays "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.), I go all out, put my all into it. That means working out 4/5 days/wk minimum and purchasing all the necessary equipment (belt, chalk, arm/knee guards, maybe even tacky) including a gym membership.

With all the conflicting "let it go" vs. "stick with it" advice out there, how do you personally decide when to keep holding onto something and when to finally let it go?

I auto thought of the 'Serenity Prayer' when reading this.
Specifically the first four lines:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.


That pretty much sums it up for me. I don't see the two sayings to be contradictory or conflicting at all when applied aptly. If there's absolutely nothing you can do to change the situation: let it go. If change hinges on your action(s): stick with it.

*shrug* Easy prompt to round out an awesome month of return blogging! Think my blog chops are working again after such a long hiatus from LiveJournal  Open in new Window. Granted I feel I waned a bit lot towards the end but that's just cuz my brain muscles were over exercised after such a long break, much like my lower back since I haven't been working out regular; though I must say I was thrilled when it didn't bother me all day during PS 2014 or after (thanks to the epsom salt soak) but it sure was barking the night before when I helped set up; darn bottled water and crates of hot dogs.../runon.
