I run. I like to run. Running is my time to reflect, to think about the day and to all around focus myself. It's the time of the day when it's just me, my thoughts, my focus and my drive to push a little more. Tonight while I was running I had a realization that I'm getting faster and my endurance is improving (in actuality, I track all my runs with NikePlus). One thing I should mention is that I'm not running as part of a training program to eventually run a marathon, 10km run or even a 5km run... I'm just running to get better. I don't tell you this to boast, because there are a lot of people out there who run faster than I do and have better endurance. I'm writing this because my big thought when running tonight was a hope that everyone else is pushing themselves too. Are you?
We all have running. However for you, your running may be your profession, being a great parent, some other sport, a hobby, playing video games or any other activity. But for me, it's running. Here's the thing... No matter what your running is, you need to be pushing yourself to improve. Don't just settle with the results you're getting today, get better. Be progress!
Even 1% improvement each time you do your thing will eventually get you to 100% improvement.
When I'm running or focusing on any other facet of my life where improvement is a focus, which by the way is everywhere, here are my personal reminders and mental "shots" that keep me focused.
When you feel like quitting, think about why you started.
We don't grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges.
Success is Choice and Discipline. Discipline is doing what needs to be done even though you don't want to.
If not now, when?
Now go out there and be the progress you want to be.
Mike
