Run hard–long slow joy.
I have never seen the sunrise come fast–it always comes but it is slower than expected.
I have never seen truly wonderful things arrive fast–and I have seen quite a few come to me.
I have never seen a finish line come faster than I expect. I almost always finish–actually always. But the end comes slower than I want.
The process is long, slow is good (especially at the beginning), and there is a cascade of joy in this deal.
I saw this phrase the other day and it made so much sense. With running and with so many important initiatives in life I can let the fear of the day by day get to me and paralyze me. Actually the fear should be in whether or not I make the goal –if there is to be any fear at all.
Actually doing the day by day stuff is how we get to a goal–so if the little senseless fears of the daily process get to me– I am dead in the water due to lack of training and progress.
I have realized more and more that I have a fear approach with several areas–including money. This is irrational and a blocker.
