Some obstacles are in our head. As I ride my bike ten miles around my neighborhood, I notice hills that I do not notice while walking. It is enough to where I feel it on those later miles. The wind is not a factor for the speed I ride, but when it is in my face, in my mind I feel like I'm being pushed.

The real struggle and effort is in the pedals over that hill toward the goal I'm trying to reach. The wind is a made up obstacle I want to believe it is pushing me. I have to ignore the made up obstacles in order to focus on the real struggles and effort.

Today's video discusses this topic.
