A runner and his daughter:

• A daughter asked her father, who ran on a consistent basis… After one cold morning like today… the daughter asked…

• Dad, do you determine how far you will run each time, or do you go as far as you feel like it?

• I find if I am running and think about how I am feeling, rather than the goal that day, I usually quit long before the goal…

• Honey, that is a great life lesson… in life if we keep our eye not on how we feel, where am I ... how far we have to go for our future… we just keep our eye on the goal… I have commitment I have covenanted to commit… and I need to do those to the best with what I have…

Don’t keep you eye on how you feel, but keep it on the goal… how futures are built…
