It was being a runner that mattered, not how fast or how far I could run. The joy was in the act of running and in the journey, not in the destination.

Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.

Trying harder doesn’t always equal more success; it leads to more frustration, less satisfaction, and giving up.
