August 30, 2013 a gratitude 20-mile meditative run,“Our greatest glory is not in ever falling, but in getting up every time we do.” There is no failure; there are only valuable learning experiences. On the other hand, as Thomas Edison about inventing the light bulb said: “I have not failed; I've just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” The important thing is not giving up, but learning and then improving by using this feedback to get better and ultimately succeed.

We can develop a “self” of such fortitude that we are able to look forward to life’s trials and tribulations with a sense of joy.”

I know you’re struggling with something, some sort of problem, something that doesn't look like it’s going to ever work out.

August 9, 2013 a gratitude 22 mile meditative run,"Being true to you is being realistic and practical. You need to be aware of your own potential, strengths and weaknesses. You should never bluff yourself and live on a false image or hope. If you cannot be true to yourself, you can never be true to others. Learn to analyze yourself judiciously. The more true you will be to yourself, the faster will be the rate at which you will realize your own follies, strengths and weaknesses. People can be true to themselves by analyzing themselves without any bias. A practically sound judgment of oneself can only pave the way to one’s progress and success. Learn and cultivate the habit of being true or honest to you. Never be false to yourself and be your best friend. Know yourself fully, always confess your mistakes and follies and realize them. In the words of Rita Dove, “Being true to you really means, being true to all the complexities of the human spirit.”
