Are you running your race in such a way to get the prize in all areas of your life or are you super focus on just one aspect of the race to the detriment of the other areas.
After completing my first 5k event, it was a tremendous feeling for me as I only thought of athletes being the ones eligible to run and complete these races. When I crossed the finish line, it was a powerful moment, one that I will never forget. It was a powerful moment because my health was never I race I consider as part of the goals for my life. It took discipline, patience, courage, perseverance and commitment to finish the race. As I thought about running all the races of my life, I recognized there were some specific questions I needed to honestly answer to ensure my life is a significant and successful race.
In that moment, I realized the importance of having clear goals for all areas of my life to win the races of life and that the prize of winning is even sweeter. The bigger picture is really who I become in the process of achieving my goals. It is easy to get stuck in the distractions and reactions to life and run the race halfheartedly.
