Lift That Back Tire a Little Higher

Back in the day, I remember the kids in my neighborhood building a dirt ramp and jumping as far as possible with our bicycles. We would measure the distance by placing a small twig where the back wheel landed. Our goal was to “set the new mark” by jumping past the twig. The first couple of days saw frequent jumps pass the mark – sometimes by an inch, sometimes a half-inch. We soon hit a plateau and were no longer able to jump past the mark. Later, a kid from another neighborhood asked if he could jump on our ramp. We all watched in amazement as he flew past our twig by at least two feet.
 
Do I need to tell you what happened next? We were immediately able to jump further now that we knew that it was possible – our expectations had changed!
 
So it is with the important aspects of our lives. We can keep our momentum moving forward by expecting better jobs, more money, a thriving relationship with our partner, good health, warm friendships, and more time for leisure. Expand your expectations and give yourself permission to do what you want with your life. “Set a new mark” and begin taking meaningful steps toward your goals.
