I listen to books on most runs and reflect on how I can use the message, knowledge, or advice in my own life.
Today was all about the feelings of needing things, people, positions in life versus wanting them and the difference between the two. When you need something you are framing that your happiness depends on obtaining that need. When you want it and don’t need it you can be happy or successful without it and still desire it.
Where is the line between want and need? Do I want to run every day or do I need to run every day? Why?
For me most days it is a want and I enjoy it. When I reflect honestly there are days I need to run because I don’t want to end the streak because I will let myself and other people down.
This new framework with help to keep me in check when I am tired or in a rut. As long as I truly want to run and am enjoying it then I will keep on running.
