Have you ever ran a marathon? I did once and it will definitely be my last! The run took place at Disney World and couldn’t have been better in terms of the environment. Goofy, Mickey, Donald Duck, cheered on all of the runners. We ran in between all the parks from Animal Kingdom to Epcot center…but I was not paying much attention to the surrounding environment at all! All I could think was, “OWWW”! (my knees hurt for 2 months after that race)


I noticed that we ran at the same pace about the entire race–until the end. There were thousands of people cheering, balloons, and tons of excitement! Almost every runner, including myself, ran that stretch way faster than the rest of the race. For some reason, we were more tired at that moment, but, yet, at the end, we ran the fastest. Why?
Most of us ran faster because we saw the finish line. We all tend to run faster in life, feel better about who we are, and are generally happier when we know where we are going. Although, where does that leave us when we are not sure where we are headed?
