7 Secrets to Overcoming Fear: {7} Never, Ever Quit

“Let’s go!” my spandex-clad husband cheerfully declares as we round a corner on our bikes. I’ve been enthusiastically pedaling along with him but suddenly my eyes see it…THE HILL.

“Did we make a wrong turn?” I ask with hope in my voice. His sprint to the start of the incline serves as my answer. 

I start strong.

By halfway up I think I might die.

By two thirds up I’m hoping I will.

I wave farewell to the caterpillar racing past my tire.

The scenes of my life flash before my eyes and I notice a lot of them contain chocolate.

Then suddenly…I’m there.

At the top.

I would whoop and holler with joy except I can’t breathe. But I do manage a lopsided grin. And my husband says, “Aren’t you glad you didn’t quit?” Despite a strong desire to smack him on his spandex-covered tush for putting me through this, I have to admit he’s right. Stinking hill. It was worth it after all.

Will you read the rest with me on (in)courage?
