I wish I could see ahead a little farther than I currently can--it would really help me pace myself. One of my favorite running routes is along Bountiful Boulevard towards the Bountiful LDS Temple, because I can see it in the distance during the entire run. It's far away, but I have a constant visual of it and I can at least see a forward progression. Right now, it feels like I'm running in the dark without a headlamp and only occasional splashes of light from a passing car or a stationary lamp post. I'm still moving forward and making progress, but sometimes it's scary and a little lonely. This is where endurance kicks in. I continually remind myself that I have to keep moving forward so that I can get back to my safe, warm home. And family. Even when others are choosing unwisely, I can still choose the good. Again, and again, and again. Endurance.
Happiness is "the consequence of exercising one's right to choose between good and bad, and choosing the good."---Sweet Misfortunes
