Some of us at this very moment are uninspired and unmotivated to do anything. Maybe we are comfortable at our jobs? Maybe we are intimidated of change? Maybe we are fearful that we will fail? Whatever the reason, there are a lot of us we are not really living to our full potential. I’am not going to bore you with trite cliches, but I am going to point you to 13 people who are currently racing around 1 city block in New York City, for the next 2 months. Here’s the hitch these 13 men once complete would have ran the world’s longest race- a total of 3,100 miles. 3,100 miles is about the distance between Los Angeles and New York City. These 13 men are mostly blue collar workers who work ordinary jobs as factory workers and teachers. And for 2 months, they put their jobs and daily lives on hold to enter a race that most of us could not even fathom of doing. The question, that I am sure many of you are asking yourselves, is “why”? Well, it certainly is not for the fame- there is not an ESPN camera in sight. It is not for the money – the winning prize is a t-shirt and a plastic trophy. So the question remains, why? Well as one runner stated, it cause the race gives you a feeling ” … the feeling that you are living for real”. So the question really should be, what are you doing today to feel alive? If you have an idea in your head go after it. A script in your pen, write it out.If you want to leave your job and open a dog bakery shop in Lima, Nebraska, pack youur bags. So today if you have the time, taking a sec to thing about you can get that feeling of really living.
