Life is a marathon not a sprint

Jog Don't Run

Thirty-five years ago I completed my second half marathon, a race that is 13.1 miles long. When I decided to run it I was very excited about being able to run for that long, but I knew I would have to train for it and prepare myself for the long distance. Training for a half marathon has been one of the hardest things I've done in recent memory- the distances were longer than I've ever run before, and running those distances multiple times a week was so challenging. And yet, knowing that the end result would be worth it, in terms of improving my physical health performance, and endurance.

The same can be said about life in general- even though the marathon of life is much longer than 13.1 miles, we are constantly training for it to make sure we are ready for whatever might come our way on that day. Life is not something you can prepare yourself for overnight- it is a process, just like running a half marathon or getting a college degree, or learning how to drive- all of these things take time and work on our part to receive the reward that comes with finishing each task.
Like building an online business with WA I have learned a lot in the little time I have spent learning how to build a website. I have been frustrated, impatience, and frankly a little discouraged because I want to see the fruits of my labor immediately. My intentions are to build a life-sustaining source of income that will create freedom and stability for my family and myself. I have learned that patience is definitely a virtue that you gain as you go. I hope along the way I don't offend anyone or break any rules. Thank you for reading and much success to you all!

Life is truly a marathon and not a sprint!
