When you think the 'others' are looking at you and laughing.

I'm too old. I'm too fat. I'm too unfit. I sweat too much. It hurts. I'm out of breath. There are too many people seeing me.

All things we have said to ourselves and all things I have read on here in this great little weird secret forum tucked away in a corner if the internet.

And I have always responded that maybe you be out there for you actually may be motivating and encouraging others. And even if you do not do this to the end maybe someone will see you and they will take up the torch and start.

Sat here tonight and I just got the following message from a dear friend over in the US of A.

So even though we are all doing this for our own reasons, next time you dont want to get out there....think of the people who are NOT seeing you.

Enjoy the journey.
