How to be strong
Tom Boyle can lift a 3,000-pound car… once.
After dinner one evening, Tom was traveling home with his wife when he witnessed an 18-year old cyclist get run over by a Camaro.
He wasn't planning to be a hero that day.
After all, you aren't supposed to swim for 30-minutes after eating, much less lift a car that weighs more than a ton.
Tom didn't hesitate. He jumped out of the car, ran to the front of the vehicle where the cyclist was pinned and lifted the vehicle saving the young man's life and making himself a hero in the process.
Tom Boyle is a reasonably strong man but not strong enough to lift 3,000 pounds of metal. He reported that the most he has previously lifted was 700 pounds, and that's when he was younger and in shape.
The question wasn't why he lifted the car; it was how.
When our reason is strong enough, we can do things we never thought possible.
So, before you ask yourself if you can accomplish a goal, maybe take a moment to ask yourself why you want to.
If your WHY is strong enough, the HOW might just take care of itself in unexplainable ways.
