In practice
In a motivational speech about pursuing one's dreams in sports and fitness.
If you are humble, your concentration will be very high. That's the way to go in sports.
One of my first races came over 10km in 2002. I won that race and it felt great. I would say that is when I first fell in love with running.
I'm confident to say that if you want to grow in a profession, consistency is the key... I'm strict about my work goals and training.
Where the marathon starts is after 30 kilometers. That's where you feel pain everywhere in your body. The muscles are really aching, and only the most prepared and well-organized athlete is going to do well after that.
I always say: a run in the morning is like eating a fruit a day - it chases he doctor away. It is good for your mind.
I am running to make history, to show that no human is limited. It's not about money, it's about showing a generation of people that there are no limits.
It's easy to say ''no!'' when there's a deeper ''yes!'' burning inside.
The best recommendation I can have is my own talents, and the fruits of my own labors, and what others will not do for me, I will try and do for myself.
Nobody's going to do your life for you. You have to do it yourself, whether you're rich or poor, out of money or raking it in, the beneficiary of ridiculous fortune or terrible injustice. And you have to do it no matter what is true. No matter what is hard. No matter what unjust, sad, sucky things befall you. Self-pity is a dead-end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.
Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.
If you believe in something and have the strength not to give up, it can happen. I am the living proof it can be done.
The secret to changing your life is in your intentions. Wishing, hoping and goal setting cannot accomplish change without intention. What is needed is a shift from the inert energy of wanting to the active energy of doing and intention.
