Try anyways.

My husband, Nate and I were riding our mountain bikes on a trail we had never been on before. On landscape we had never ridden before.
At times, there were 2-3 foot rock faces looking at me.
Inviting me to either ride up them or walk my bike up them.
I tried to ride up the first two without success.
As I approached a 3rd rock face, I sighed a deep, “noooo”.
But Nate was waiting for me. And he said “You’ve got it, it’s easy”.
So I rode it. And it was easy.
Was it Nate’s words of encouragement?
Maybe.
Did he get me to believe in myself just long enough to make it happen?
Probably.
Would I have been able to ride up it without him?
Maybe. I’ll never know.
Sometimes, we need a cheerleader.
Sometimes, we forget to be our own cheerleader.
In that moment, I forgot to be my own.
I was looking at the 2 past “failures” to determine how I rode that 3rd rock face, if at all.
I was anticipating failing before I even tried.
Nate reminded me to try anyways.
Try anyways.
I would love to be your cheerleader! And to show you how to be your own.
