James “Iron Cowboy” Lawrence completed 50 Ironman triathlons, in 50 states, in 50 days.
Together with his daughter Lucy, they share that success is achieved in the mind much quicker than in the body.
I was introduced to this man’s story by David Robertson, My Virtual Mentor. The Iron Cowboy sure made an impression on me.
James Lawrence is quite remarkable. Even in the best shape of my life as a young student athlete in the 1980s, I can hardly imagine the level of training, discipline, and raw tenacity it would take to complete 50 Ironman triathlons, in 50 days, in all 50 states. Incredible!
A feat like that seems humanly impossible, but I think that’s the point of his message …
Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.
James Lawrence, The Iron Cowboy
If I believe in my mind that such a thing is impossible, then it is. I’ve defeated myself before even getting started. But if I choose to believe I can, and I train my mind to know it, then I surely can! I’m right either way.
I know another man who said something similar. Do you know Him?
Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.
