Today while running on the treadmill, some ten minutes into it, I had an epiphany. Around ten minutes is my "breaking point". By that time I have exhausted all of my immediate energy (more like the checking account), feel like I got a "solid" workout and if I choose to continue, I now have to dig into my "reserve". Do I really want to push myself that hard and keep going, even though all my legs and knees want to do is just stop. But today, like always, I chose to continue. Like in life, I decided to move out of my comfort zone and push my limits. I decided to test myself and see how much I could take - and I ended up doing a whole extra mile. I realized that this attitude of being able to keep on going is exactly what we need in life as well - things don't always go the way we want them to, and when they don't - we have to realize that what's most important is just being able to keep on going. Even if for just for one more moment, just one more minute or just one more mile. The important things is to keep going - and you know why! Because when you keep going, you suddenly realize you have all this strength in you that was hidden right behind the facade of uncertainty. And then what happens is just pure magic - you end up doing things you never thought you could. Like run a whole extra mile and still feel like going.
