Favorite Motivation Tip

Here’s my personal favorite tip to stay motivated:

Find a million ways.

Who’s going to be more passionate and concerned for your motivation than you?

Seriously. Who?

Studying others who’ve overcome obstacles is just one way. It’s one of my favorite ways. Steve Prefontaine, a rebel, also happened to be a runner.

And in the process, with his relentless courage and determination, he changed the way Americans thought, and continue to think, about running. He held every American running record from 2,000 – 10,000 meters.

In his greatest race at the 1972 Munich Olympics, he finished fourth. No medal. No glory. No hero’s welcome.

But yet, he’s the only athlete Nike has ever immortalized in a bronze statue. Ever. Any sport. Period.

It’s impossible

“If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough”. — jeff noel

Make it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will?” Carpe diem, jeff 🙂

Why do we run?

Here’s my favorite answer to the question, “Why do you run?“

It’s from Roger Bannister, the first human to break the four-minute mile barrier, on the morning of May 6, 1954.

“I sometimes think that running has given me a glimpse of the greatest freedom a man can ever know, because it results in the simultaneous liberation of both mind and body……The runner does not know why he runs. He only knows that he must run……We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves.”
