I love to use running as an analogy for life. It’s about discipline, endurance, focus, pain, joy, etc. I wrote a post about running in the rain and my thoughts about the experience. You’ll want to go to the full article to read Mark Victor Hanson’s quote, which applies to so many areas of life.
It’s been said that the difference between successful people and failures are that successful people do the things that failures are unwilling to do.
I think this is true is every area of life - business, sports, health, family, etc.
Take a look at the different areas of your life that you deem successful. I can guarantee that you’ve done some things in that area of your life that others are unwilling to do. If it’s business, maybe that means cold calling, or networking, or some other activity.
A personal example for me was this past Thursday. As you know, I started my training for the Hartford marathon three weeks ago. On Thursday, I was scheduled to run six 800 meter fast paced runs. During the course of these runs, it started to rain and then turn into a pouring rain. I was soaked. I could have easily called it quits since I was running down the street from our house, but I didn’t.
