RUN 167 - Sound advice from the Eco Village

If life gives you lemons, you better make lemonade. Following the path of least resistance can be more challenging than striving to achieve ones preconceived goals in the face of adversity. An open-mindedness to life opportunities could be social utopia, living out ones natural course as it presents itself to you on life's journey. That however is not a widely accepted way to live in this society, we're expected to identify a goal and work towards it diligently and without compromise, whatever the cost. Success is measured by the effort and sacrifice made to achieve those goals. The question is, is that sacrifice worthwhile? maybe it is, maybe not, hindsight brings answers, but the risk is regret. Be the change you want to see? its a mantra of confidence, dismissive of doubt and weakness, as valuable to the runner in me as in my daily life, but equally difficult to live by. It speaks of effort and dedication, which every runner knows of, and the payback that's forthcoming. Its translation to everyday life is the real challenge. [3.75m - 31:35 - 08:25/m]
