What A Jerk!

The Road You Travel Is Up To You
The Road You Travel Is Up To You

That’s what people think. They think it and say it behind your back.

Showoff.  Ego-maniac.  Self-centered.  What a jerk!

And yet, deep down inside, they wish they had the focus and discipline it takes.

Sad thing is, they do, but they make so many excuses that they convince themselves they don’t.

Where are you?

Boston Marathon 2010

Will Your Dreams & Motivation Go Down The Drain?
Will Your Dreams & Motivation Go Down The Drain?

Monday, Ryan Hall set an all-time American record, 2:08.41, for the fastest Boston Marathon finish by an American. Ever!

Ryan Hall was fourth overall, and the winner set a new Boston Marathon course record. Fastest Boston Marathon in it’s 124 year history.

Ryan ran only six one-hundredths of second faster than the previous American record.

Not six minutes faster, not six seconds faster, not six-tenths of a second faster.

Six one-hundredths faster.

We can’t even blink that fast. That was the cumulative time over 26.2 miles, 0:00.06 faster.

Mind boggling!

What does this mean to you? Most likely, nothing.

Or it may just be the daily motivation you were looking for. We start anew every day. We can never tire of the basics. Ever.

It’s The Living That’s Important

Have friends who just won’t let go, or just won’t stop talking about a certain thing?

You know, the ones that go on and on and on about the thing.

Sometimes you want to look them straight in the eyes and say, “Enough already!”

And sometimes you simply want to grab them.

Grab them, look them straight in the eyes, and say, “Thank you. Thank you for not giving up on me!”
