Just some thoughts that may or may not be coherent...
In just about all aspects of my life I've done well when it comes to quick bursts of energy. Sprinting is something in which I excel. I can do anything for a day, maybe even two. I can drastically change my daily schedule for a week, maybe even two. But longer...?
Similarly, I'm not sure that I've ever been accused of being diligent. As I look back on my life I am overwhelmed by the number of things that I've started only to quit when the going got tough. I was thinking about this as I was running today. It was about 3/4 of the way through my run and I felt that I was spent. It got hard. I wanted to give up. I started thinking of the run today as if they were my efforts for the past two weeks. Two weeks in it gets harder to motivate myself everyday. What will I do?
I had a thought recently that I think relates to this Journey: It's not the big decisions that impact a person's life as much as it is the day to day, seemingly mundane, choices that will determine the course of a person's life. One foot in front of the other. Just keep going...
Since 1/3/15 I've walked/run for exercise 35.29 miles and I've lost 8.5 pounds.
Yeah! Keep going! It's amazing how those small, everyday decisions are what really make us who we are. I'm proud of you for choosing each day to be the man you want to be.
