YOUR WILL GIVES OUT FIRST

I can remember trying out for the cross country team at my high school, I could not understand how some of these guys did it, they could run and be fine at the finish line, I on the other hand was literally dying and giving up a mile short. The coach told me that the great runners understood that their will gave out long before their bodies and would persevere. That helped me. I learned that the contest was not necessarily one of strength but rather one of will.
