November 30, 2015 balance 12 miles meditative run,“Some people will follow their minds without listening to their hearts, and others will follow their hearts without listening to their minds.

Instead, we were meant to follow the heart over the mind, but without completely abandoning logic. The middle way is the preferred way, and this path simply means to allow your heart to drive you, but do not forget to balance reason with your conscience.”

November 1, 2015 self-acceptance 10 miles meditative run,“I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'Well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.”

July 20, 2015 self-belief 12 miles meditative run,“Never surrender your hopes and dreams to the fateful limitations others have placed on their own lives.The vision of your true destiny does not reside within the blinkered outlook of the naysayers and the doom prophets. Judge not by their words, but accept advice based on the evidence of actual results.Do not be surprised should you find a complete absence of anything mystical or miraculous in the manifested reality of those who are so eager to advise you. Friends and family who suffer the lack of abundance, joy, love, fulfillment, and prosperity in their own lives really have no business imposing their self-limiting beliefs on your reality experience.”

Sometimes we need to figure out what went wrong or just need to grit our teeth, pull ourselves up by the bootstraps, and soldier onward.At the end of the day, life is hard for all of us (though to varying degrees), and there will be many obstacles to what we want from life. You might look at successful people and from the outside – it looks easy.You might think you are putting in as much effort as anyone else.But the truth is that as humans,we often overestimate our own determination and underestimate the determination of those around us.”
