Run your race. These are words I often say...sometimes to others, mostly to myself. This phrase keeps me focused on the task at hand. It doesn't have to be a race, just any task in life. It simply means:
Don't worry about what other people are doing.
Don't let other things distract you.
Stay focused.
The end result is up to you. Why worry about what someone else is doing? Perhaps they are taller, stronger, faster. Big deal! Use your strengths to achieve your goal. You may not accomplish your goal as fast as someone else. Who cares? Maybe your goal is to complete the task. Then later, you can work on speed. Bottom line, worrying about what others are doing or falling victim to distractions will only slow you down and perhaps prevent you from reaching your goal. In daily tasks and life, you have run your race. No one else will do it for you.
Very well said. You are the only one that can run your race.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to read about my thoughts. I hope you continue to read and enjoy my posts. I think running your race is a simple concept but there is so much truth in it. Many people make things more complicated. While you're running your race, make time to stop by my blog!
