Hi y'all,
The world is filled with wishes, dreams, hopes and fears and I'm happy this tiny orb has all of m and yet that longing, that need, that hope for things to happen or maybe even the fear for them won't ever make anything happen. A dream alone will get you through a dark time but it won't make the night go away. Hope for better times will provide you with some sort of elastic band that might stretch a little further but it won't get you over that gap. A wish is nothing more than a whisper over candle light or a shooting star blasted into a universe that knows no sound and fears are the seeimingly unbreakable ties your mind has you wrapped in. The world won't give you anything, the universe can't hear you. People might and hopefully your mind will. Did you ever experience the absolute need to do something, no doubts nor fears about weather or not you're able to? That is exactly how I felt the first time I started training for a marathon. I wanted it so bad that there was no room in my mind for selfdoubt or fear. Which doesn't mean that it wasn't there every now and again but when I signed up I knew that I just had to go and do it.
Running is so much a part of my life now that I started to listen to what running taught me. A very helpful quote for me in marathon training the first time around has been: The will to succeed is nothing without the will to prepare. And lately this lesson has become more vital than I could have ever imagined. Why? Because once you decide to actively pursuit happiness the emotional spunges, the dementors, the soul suckers appear to pick up on your scent and they go after you. Ferociously. The only thing you can do is sincerely not give a fuck. The nay-sayers are not there to help you out even though they might tell you that they have your best interest at heart. That you have to trust them. Don't. Stay true to you. Do you. Believe in you and trust me that is all that matters. All you need to know deep down in your gut is that you can make it happen. You can. Even when the emotional spunges and soul suckers start to close in.
Remember why you embarked on any journey. Literally any. Remember why you wanted to do what you started out to do. Not because you dreamed about it, not because you wished for it, not because you were scared. Not because any of that. You stepped upon that road of your thing because you felt an undeniable forcecul aching and absolute need to do it. That's why. So all you need to do is ...the work to get you there. No interferences, no white noise, no distractions. Just you and your decision to pursuit your thing. There will be times when you get side tracked so here's my little piece of advice. Be it in life or running or both:
Run when you feel like you're unable to breath, run when you feel trapped, run when there is no answer, run to find an answer, run to have some time or just to forget about it. Run and be free. Run and let what lies you held for truth dissipate. Run in a downpour and let the storm sweep you off your feet. Run and get lost. Run towards the sun. Run with the crisp smell of morning winters. Run babe RUN and whatever you do: never ever look back. There is nothing in the past that can be changed and there's nothing there to help you move forward. The past is there like a picture in a frame, a moment frozen in time. Nothing you will ever do can change it. You however can change the path you are on. When a road seems to lead you nowhere just take another one. Maybe just get off the beaten track and pave a new way but never stop and never ever go back. The spunges, soul suckers and other life-takers will try to stop you. Don't let them. You do you. You believe in you. You make it happen.
That's it for now, until we read again
as always,
Love marlies
