You surely understand the 'come up with a good name' complex. Didn't we all have one before we got into blogging? Obviously, it was to do with our church and someone had offered a name and the reason behind his suggestion was...."more than just a meeting place".
I liked it. I think I liked that phrase moreso than the name b/c it is more than just a meeting place. It got me thinking about other things.
Especially this time of year, people realize that they aren't as fit as they once were, thought, or dreamed of. It's a rough time of the year for many people b/c they realize that all of the past decisions when it comes to health have taken effect on their body w/o them realizing it.
Probably one of the most commonly used phrases is..."I don't remember it being this hard"...or..."I use to be able to do this no problem"...or..."ouch".
People find their instant limitations and they become afraid of the hard work, dedication, and time that is needed to be put into themselves to get where they want to go. I feel blessed that I didn't give in to that way of thinking. I know for sure that I said those very same phrases and it was scary when I realized that I couldn't run a mile if I needed too. But we are more than those limitations.
I know a woman that is 32 and had a mini-stroke a few days ago. They found an artery fully blocked, but this happened a long time ago. Instead of it having an effect on her body, another artery just picked up the slack and grew to the size that it needed to in order to do the job of both vessels. Our bodies are capable of doing so much more than what we think they are.
Watch this guy and see the limitations that he overcame. We are more than our limitations and when we believe that - we will see that in our daily lives.

That is pretty amazing. Makes you feel a little grounded and when things get you down, it makes you realize things really aren't THAT bad... This poor guy has a lot to overcome and has. Great inspiration.
I lost a lot of weight - 120 pounds - and it took me almost 5 years, until now to do it. I've had to re-learn that I have value outside of my weight - that even if I were to gain all of my weight back, I would still be valuable individual with a valid perspective and contributions to make. For me, being more than my limitations is realizing and remembering that I have value outside of my weight.
So amazing
