Melissa, in the past and up until now couldn't or wouldn't jump on the 20" plyo box because she says, "I'm nervous of catching the edge of the box and falling". OK! A lot of us can relate to this type of scenario right? Fear of failing at something? Well, let us tell you, if you never move past your fears, you will never truly understand how successful you can be. One of the enemies greatest strongholds against us is to bound us in fear. But you better believe that there is a way out!
In this case, plyo box jump versus Melissa (who is more than capable of jumping on a 24" box). Again, Melissa has faced this opponent in the past and it consumed her with doubt and fear. Instead of accepting this in her life, she has put in the dedicated work and made it an objective to break free. So today, after at least a year, she was willing to take that extra step to improving her workouts and from now on, her times... And she jumped on that 20" box. Not once but all of them to complete the set. It appeared that she could have done it all along but afraid to make that move. Congratulations Melissa! We're proud of you!
In this short story, you could put anything in place of the"plyo box jump" in relation to your life and allow it to keep you in fear and despair. Or you can face it once and for all and take the necessary steps to overcoming it. The moral of this story is to be triumphant over your fears. Do them at your own discretion but know that you will never find out what lies behind the door if you don't turn the knob and walk through. Keep the faith and allow God to change your life.
