To cultivate courage, commitment, drive and determination we must truly believe that we are capable of anything. Being persistent is the only way to succeed, it is in the work, the grit, it is between the lines of I quit and I will never give up. Everyday, every moment, is an opportunity for action. Running teaches me to press on, to move forward no matter what, running teaches me to believe I can and will. Being out on the trials for hours in forward motion both strengthens and weakens the mind -- being persistent with forward motion builds courage, commitment, drive and determination... Running teaches me that it is all about the journey.
