After completing the #4x4x48challenge (run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours) I spent a lot of time reflecting.
What was it that motivated me to finish?
I also considered the thoughts of self-doubt, insecurity, and absolutely weak thoughts I would not share with people. But at some level, I knew those same thoughts are the ones that also prevent me (and possibly many people) from going after the things they want to achieve.
4x4x48 was a tough one for me, but I also realize it's not the hardest thing on the planet. And the thing that helped to push me through was accepting that it was doable and achieveable.
The physical discomforts were annoying, but the biggest obstacle was the constant repetition of ideas in my head that motivated me to fail - even before starting.
Here's some lessons learned.
