As you may know, I did a thing back on the 22 of Feb and It helped me out in ways I didn't know. First I have sympathy for those with bad knees. Wow, my knees were not happy after walking 22 km with 22 lbs on my back. Yet as I was doing my three laps I was able to correlate some of life's events to a ruck march.
Are we ever prepared for the first attempt?
What you believe and the other thoughts you have can really start weighing you down.
There are stretches of your life that are going to seem to be lonely. You will feel as if you have no one to talk with. The burden you are carrying is immense but at the same time they are just thoughts and beliefs
Each lap is a section of life. Your youth is full of energy. While your middle lap is still ready to go but not as fast. while the last can be where the most learning can happen.
You will hit a wall
For me, it was the third lap of the ruck march. but for you, it may be that notice that your wife is leaving you for another man, or that you have been cut out of a huge deal at work. You will come face to face with a challenge that can be scary and insurmountable. What is your choice?
For me, it was that I could do hard things
Those in religion and friends become very welcoming as you go. The church offers a well-earned respite of life and allows you to gain a new view.
These habits you form become harder as you go
That one friend who keeps checking in on you even when you might wish that he go ahead to without you. Find your Bob and thank him for his dedication
