Start to Finish: Track and Field of Life

Your Race

Think of life as one big track meet. Some of us are sprinters and we can get through life in a breeze, so we think and picking up as much stuff as we can as we go by. Some of us are long distance runners, it takes us a little longer to get to where we want to go, but when we get there, it was worth it. Some of us are long distance jumpers, we just want to get there with the least amount of pressure. Some of us are cross-country runners, we like to just take our time and go through the weeds, the trees and any other thing that we may encounter. For cross-country runners, it seems as though it takes forever for us to get to where we want to go, but in the end, we make it. We may be a little weary, but we finish and the reward is even greater because we went through so many trials and tribulations to get there.

Your Competition

The only competition that you should consume yourself with is YOURSELF. One you pick the meet that best suits you then always try to do better than you did before. Imagine this…You are in lane 5 of the meet and in the other lanes is also, YOU try to beat yourself. When we focus on others, we lose focus on ourselves, so if we have no one else around us to compete with but ourselves, the focus is always going to be where it should be. Which is you being a better YOU!

Your Training

Begin training by redirecting your energy to those things that are positive and not negative. Everything that you may THINK is negative, look at it as an opportunity to do something better. Don’t covet what someone else has. BE YOUR OWN PERSON. Set goals and the necessary steps that need to be executed to achieve those goals.

In closing, ask your self, Are you a Sprinter? A Long Distance Runner? A Long Distance Jumper? A Cross-Country Runner? Once you determine what meet you want to run, find YOUR pace and hit it with no turning back.

So every time you feel like you are getting tired and ready to give up, just remember you started this thing and you have to finish it, because YOU are not a quitter. Even if it takes you a little longer to get there, it is better to get there eventually than to never get there at all.

Get on your marks, get set and go………



Stay Blessed and Focused!
