I always loved running. It was something you could do by yourself and under your own power. You could go in any direction, as fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.

Find the good. It's all around you. Find it, showcase it, and you'll start believing in it. Life doesn't give you all the practice races you need. The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself – the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us – that's where it's at.
