Running towards success

Most of us are running. Running towards success.

When you open Twitter, almost everyone is running.

Some have finished the race and are just eating while cheering the ones still on the race.

Others have decided to go extra laps even after finishing the race.

But are you on the right track? There are so many races in the stadium of life.

Some are going Eliud Kipchoge's way of Marathons while some are going Usain Bolt's way.

Which race are you running? Ever stopped to ask yourself which track you are on?

This morning I woke up and I just wanted to start running. I stopped on my bed and asked myself the race I'm running.

I looked at my vision board. It kept me grounded.

I don't want a billion-dollar company. I don't want to live in Dubai. I have my wants but not that.

I'm hoping my vision board and my reflection will keep me grounded. I hope to run my race. Signing off with a quote by Dan Koe, "Every time I bite off more than I can chew, I'm reminded of one thing: All I want is to wake up, spill meaningful ideas onto a blank page, go on a long walk, eat well, and see how much my body can handle under some steel plates. That's it."
