If you decide you are going to feel wonderful, strong, excited – then you have the power to move mountains! ~ Ben Feldman ~

The first time I read this quote I passed it by not thinking twice. Something made me go back a read it again and I wondered how this applied to my life… being excited and moving mountains because I chose to feel that way. Then it hit me… how fearless we are when we were younger. The things we were able to do despite that fact that we didn’t know how dangerous or scary they were. All because there was something we wanted and didn’t let anything come in our way… do you remember those days? I DON’T! But I remember how my children were! lol

This quote reminded me of my youngest when he was only about 18 months old (now my boys were running before they were 10 months old) and he knew there were cookies on top of the refrigerator. I know I had only been in the bathroom a few minutes and I walked around my house looking for him… nowhere to be found! I walked back into the kitchen and heard his giggle, but couldn’t find him. Then I see a chubby little leg swing down the front of my freezer and another little giggle… Sure enough there Jacob sat on top of the refrigerator, face covered in chocolate and cookie crumbs, pleased as punch with himself! He had pulled a chair over to the microwave cart that was next to the refrigerator and climbed up on top and pulled himself up onto the refrigerator to get those cookies!!! He moved mountains to get those cookies…

Imagine what we, as adults, could do if we decided to feel wonderful, strong and excited? To not let our worries and fears (real or perceived) get in the way of what we really want? I am not suggesting putting your life in danger (obviously he had no clue how dangerous that was), but to asses the danger and take precautions maybe, but not to let it stop you!

Will you decide excitement and go for it today?
