We can never let tough times push us to quit

We can never let tough times push us to quit.

Up at 3:30am.

Leave at 4:30am for Orlando airport.

Wait for 6:30am departure.

Drive home briefly on way to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa to deliver a keynote speech to 300.

Drive home, lunch, check book status.

Feel positively overwhelmed by the response.

Take a desperately needed 90-minute nap.

Check on book progress again.

But no exercise.

None.

Bummed.

The best we can do is very often less than we hope for

As kids, we ran everywhere, and this tree was simply an acorn next to a pole

The insidious destruction of our motivation happens almost invisibly

Eventually, there will no longer be any sign of the pole

Never saw it coming is a big reason people quit

Disneyland Resort...Disneyland Paris
running in France
it was better than no run at all

Never saw it coming is a big reason people quit. Case in point. Two weeks ago I spent a week in Paris…only ran 15 minutes. The past week nursing a severe head cold…huge wrench in running plans. Falling two weeks behind compared to where I’ve been working years to get back to…just another day in paradise.

Don’t quit. Even when things happen you never saw coming. Be flexible. Adapt. Stay healthy, have fun.
