There’s not much more frustrating than reaching a destination, but being upset with yourself for how you got there.
Taking shortcuts, hiding, searching for distractions all leave a bad aftertaste.
Better to decide now to be in it for the long run or not. To do what you need to do consistently, daily even, to reach your destination. To leave the “it’s time for a break” mentality behind and set a smart pace.
It’s also worth realizing whether you’re running from something or to it. That will often provide the motivation to go the distance.
Stay Positive & Decide Which Race You’re Running
