You owe it to yourself because its your responsibility

quote about quitting
From Facebook this morning.

 

Fact: Life is generally overwhelming.

Not many people know my book’s hidden message is about finding ways to overcome the never-ending temptations to quit (at anything, not just running).

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

From the ashes, beauty will rise

Typical outcome for a right handed shot putter.

 

Ran four miles to meet the High School Coach. Then ran four miles home.

Mile seven came in at 7:15, a miracle considering how shaky the right calf felt.

i swear after two miles of slow running, i had to slow it down even more. Felt like something bad (like a small muscle pull or tear) was imminent.

But the real beauty was having Coach understand that our Son was on the Track & Field team by default. Coach Williams is an encourager.

It’s not an option for you

Push yourself.

No one else is gonna do it.

Not for as long as you’ll need to be pushed.

As in all your life.

Anyone other than you will give up quickly.

It’s not an option for you.

You know this, right?

Dream Big

The original tag line for Lane 8 was:

Dream Big.  Get There.  Stay There.

Take your time but hurry up.  The clock is ticking.

And remember to go a little easy on yourself.  But not for long though. Coaches push others to their limits. We must learn to do this with ourselves.  What do you think?

If you don’t, who will?  If not today, or this week, when?

We will fail.  It’s inevitable.  However, I believe failure is simply a test to see if we were serious or not.

Are you?
