endurance-and-attitude

Strength for today, overflowing grace.

We are endowed with different kinds of gifts for different kinds of services.

Hope is the assurance of positive expectations.

Love endures every circumstance; Love never loses hope, never loses faith and never gives up.

We must be conscious of this; one day, the life we have, will be gone.

Your mockers will only have your attention only if you give them your attention

It is not his body which makes a man strong, but his spirit. Nothing on the outside, but only that which comes from within.

We can overcome the uncertainties in life with courage and hope.

Greatness emanates through endurance and triumph over the difficulties in life.

I am the bended, but not broken. I am the power of the thunderstorm. I am the beauty in the beast. I am the strength in weakness. I am the confidence in the midst of doubt. I am Her!

The pain of running relieves the pain of living.

Between the MilesI have always counted the miles.Sometimes they came quick,Other times slow.The distance between things,The way I could know.Close could feel far,And far could feel near.The miles that passed too quickly,The ones I ran out of fear.They weren__ all the same,So I had been told,The unmarked trails,And the days I was bold.Some miles went down,Spiraling so low,When I was afraid to look forward,There was nowhere to go.The sunset came fast,And the day turned to night,But the trails could be endless,If I looked at them right.Everything I knew,All I was told,The conversations left behind,The people who grew old.When the miles stretched out before me,I wanted to sew them at the seam,Looking forward and then back,Holding everything in between.

Life may try to knock you down but be persistent with your passions - cultivate grit, resilience, tenacity and endurance success will come.

During times of persistent hardship is when the warrior learns the most about his fortitude.

Endurance of life problems, spirit of survival.

The Existentially Preoccupied Long Distance RunnerSometimes I like to run so hard and for so longwith each mile I can feel the pain of my own awareness,my own heightened consciousness of what ails me,the ills of the world,the limitations of our existence,the losses we must endure,the superficial interactions.Sometimes I like to run so hard and for so longthat I can feel all of these feelings seep out of the pours of my own skin,the sweat cleansing my very being,my awareness of beauty heightened,the experience of joy possible,each mile, each minute, ridding me of these feelings,washing away the illusions,showing me the truth.Sometimes I like to run so hard and for so long_until finally I feel free_until finally I AM free_

God's grace, mighty deeds.
