Throw your heart over the bar, and your body will follow

"Throw your heart over the bar, and your body will follow"

This is a truly inspirational quote taken from an anecdote of a wonderful inspirational writer Dr Norman Vincent Peal. In any situation where feelings of discouragement and insecurity prevail in the mind, all it takes is a quote like this to snap you into the realisation of your full potential, and ability to do exactly the things that you believe are impossible. It's difficult sometimes when your accustomed to feeling low and have developed strong self representations of inadequacy, but all it really takes is a liberation of your mind from these thoughts, then a refill of encouraging positive thoughts.
Religious faith is fundamentally very powerful; exercising your faith in God and surrendering complete trust in Jesus (as a Christian) will work as the basis and complete support for your self confidence.
It's hard like anything which is worthwhile in this world, but it's also true and do-able, all you need is an openness to the reality of your ability and the rest is in your hands.

The meaning of the above quote holds strong inspirational charge. The 'bar' is any physical or mental obstacle that may be in the path of your destination or personal success, and your 'heart', I would still say is your faith, when you earnestly believe that the obstacle can be overcome and surpassed. Finally your 'body' is your physical being bringing your belief into actuality and acting out those very things that were once thought to be impossible.
