AustrAliAn triAthlete | 55- I have been blessed with two arms,
two legs, a strong heart, and the ability,
opportunity and desire to be out here
partaking in a sport that I love. - I am doing something that makes me
feel alive - that allows me to express my
passion for pushing myself to my limits. - Usually, races are in a beautiful place.
Look around you. We are so lucky to be
alive, and able to express our physicality in
this way.
The above are three very simple thoughts
that can’t help but make you feel grateful.
The other thing that will help you step
away from your fear, and step into yourdon’t want. That is the simplest but most
powerful advice I can give you today.
Doing this can singlehandedly change your
life, your training and your racing in all the
best ways.
So, get out there, acknowledge your
fears, but then choose to either step away
from fear, and into a more empowering
feeling such as gratitude, or at least dance
with your fear. Bring it along with you, to
acknowledge that you care, but don’t let it
stop you from stepping up, taking chances
and believing that you have so much more
inside of you than you can even imagine!
Focus on what you want, and what
needs to be done to get from where you
are, to where you want to be. By creating an
empowering meaning for all the feelings
we have, we can change pain to pleasure,
and disappointment to absolute ecstasy.
Commit to finding a higher level by finding
more empowering meaning for what you
are feeling at all different times in life. Step
up to the performances and experiences
you deserve in your life, by replacing your
fears of failing, with the excitement for
finding out what you are made of. Realise
that we never fail, we just learn.
Once you realise that you will either
win, or learn, the risk of going all in is
totally worth it. You can’t lose. Growing is
progress and progress is happiness.
Choose to forge forward with gratitude
and excitement and make all your dreams
come true!Siri Lindley

give in to the fear, it will not lead you
anywhere worth going. If thinking a certain
thought will only debilitate you, why would
you choose to think that thought?
If you know that thinking positively leads
to positive performance and feelings, but
thinking negatively leads to negative
performance and negative feelings,
why would you choose anything but
thinking positively?
We all have control over our thoughts.
Our thoughts create our reality. Be as
disciplined with your thinking as you are
with your training and you will find your
experience of this sport, and of life, is
enhanced in the most beautiful ways.
Focus on what you want, not on what you© Matt Roberts/Getty Images for IronmanStep away from your fear, and
