One of the many lessons I learned from running a marathon is that training matters. If you want to finish the race, blowing off long runs and failing to put the mileage in will cost you pain and the likelihood you won’t finish what you came to do.
If life is a marathon, then why do we coast? Why do we get comfortable and lazy? Keep pushing yourself! Do the work to stay competitive in the race of life.
- Learn something new every day
- Keep your eyes open to new opportunities
- Take some risks that might not work but could pay off generously
- Do something that requires faith
- Keep your head in the game
- Be positive
- Be encouraging
- Ask what if to possibilities, not what if to past regrets and mistakes
- Look at every challenge as an opportunity
- Embrace change
No one has ever fully arrived until they take their last breath. And if you are a person of faith, like me, the race is only beginning at that point as well.
