“Energy and persistence conquer all things.”
Anything worthwhile takes and effort. At times it could exhaust you and your resources. If it worthwhile, it will push you to the edge and make you wonder if giving up is the best option.
Ben's advice is Don't Give Up. Pushing through that is rewarding and worthwhile.
In my opinion even though I am a runner, no one in their right mind sets out to run long distance. Anything above 3 miles is no longer just a fun run.
When the young man at the door of my building asks me if I am running 7 or 10 miles I always choose 10. I need to push myself. If I say 7 I might give up at 10. But if I say 10 then even if I give up at 10 I wold be better off than 4 miles.
It is a good lie. It gets me motivated to run and hopefully build determination and strength for me to continue running in the future.
Today's question is:
"Do you tell yourself good lies in order not to give up?" .
