"You can do it"

When I was doing the MS Bike Tour back in September, on our way back, my knees started killing me. They were hurting so bad, but I couldn't stop pedalling. For that leg of the tour, Sawitri was ahead of me. I didn't know what to do- all I knew was that I could not give up, not when I was more than 1/2 way through. I called someone and said, "My knees are hurting". A few minutes later, the person called back and said, "you can do it. You can do it".
I was reminded of this because I felt the same way while trying to complete a task downstairs. Alhamdulillah, the task's done. But I'm quite hungry...

Throughout our lives we meet people who believe in us. One of the saddest things I read, and it's so true, in John Maxwell's book: Becoming a person of influence, was that: Most people have no one who believe in them.

I had written an article on how to become a person of influence for the TMV and CAMP Connections. I should be posting that up on the leadership blog.
