Run Hard; Run Smart; Run Fast; Run Steady!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Running was always tricky for me.\u00a0 I had all sorts of opinions about running, the need for it, the benefit of it, my running style … you name it!\u00a0 If it had anything to do with running, I had an opinion and it probably wasn’t good. BUT, I knew I wanted to run!\u00a0 That is when it hit me that I was attempting to run like others. I was comparing myself to them in every detail,\u00a0 and that never ends well for anyone!\u00a0\u00a0Run YOUR race!\u00a0 You know what you want – so go for it!<\/p>\n

When working towards success, getting started and building momentum is always the most challenging.\u00a0 More energy is spent getting the ball rolling than keeping it rolling.\u00a0 This is when you need to Run Hard<\/strong>.\u00a0 Daily focused commitment is absolutely necessary at your pace!\u00a0 Some people have hours a day and others minutes.\u00a0 Pick your time and commit to that daily.<\/p>\n

Now that you know how much you are doing daily – I want you to Run Smart<\/strong>.\u00a0 This is all about doing the activities that will actually get you where you want to go – no fluff – simply the down and dirty actions.\u00a0 Do the actions at the level of your capability and with practice you will make progress and progress is perfection.\u00a0 \u00a0To grow my business requires that new people join my business either as customers or team members.\u00a0 Period!\u00a0 There is nothing fluffy about that.\u00a0 This breaks down easy: I meet new people. I build relationships. I share the gifts of my company. I invite them to join me. I help them reach their physical and financial goals. I love them well.\u00a0 That is what it takes to get me where I want to go. If my time commitment is 15 minutes – I do my thing for 15 minutes!<\/p>\n

As momentum builds and results start happening – I choose to Run Fast<\/strong>.\u00a0 I see what I have done with 15 minutes and I like those results, so I up the ante.\u00a0 I find other nooks and crannies to fit in more activity.\u00a0 Maybe I’m now at 30 minutes a day or even an hour.\u00a0 Remembering the principles of Quickly – Running Fast becomes easier – Know the activities and get it done!<\/p>\n

As you get into your groove, perhaps the most challenging aspect of running is the mental game … Run Steady<\/strong>!\u00a0 You have your time set – honor it, stick to it, do it!<\/p>\n

Do you see what this means\u2014all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we\u2019d better get on with it. Strip down, start running\u2014and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on\u00a0Jesus<\/i>, who both began and finished this race we\u2019re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed<\/strong>\u2014that exhilarating finish in and with God\u2014he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he\u2019s\u00a0there<\/i>, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through.\u00a0That<\/i>\u00a0will shoot adrenaline into your souls! ~Hebrews 12:1-3 The Message<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Keep YOUR next finish line in front of you … every journey has mile markers along the way …. know where you are going.\u00a0 Run to get there. Take a minute to breathe and celebrate the accomplishment – then repeat …. Run Hard. Run Smart. Run Fast. Run Steady, You will get to where you are going – one foot in front of the other.\u00a0 Practicing what I preach – know that my journey currently has me Running for Ruby!\u00a0 See you at the next finish line!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
