Run with Purpose
Sunday was the ING Marathon in Miami. As I walked to the gym for my workout, I was inspired by the runners on their way to the finish line just a little over a mile away. Some were trudging, some walking, but the majority were still running toward their goal.
As I cheered the runners on, I couldn’t help but think about the hours and days and weeks of preparation that had gone into making the incredible experience a reality for each of them.
I thought about what it takes to be successful in running a marathon. It begins with a decision to go for a big goal, like running 26.2 miles! Once the goal is clearly defined, then you have to create a plan that outlines the steps you will take to reach the goal. And, most importantly, it takes commitment to the dream which includes consistent, persistent effort on a daily basis.
Success in any endeavor is the same process. One of my big goals for this year is to help educate a child by focusing my running for the next 5 months on a program called “Run for Malawi.” I am partnering with Nu Skin Enterprises to provide scholarships for children in Malawi, Africa so that they have the opportunity to receive an education. For every 1,000 miles, Nu Skin will provide one scholarship that includes room & board.
My friend, Dr. Jacque Russo, and I are committed to at least one scholarship and we need your help! If you run or walk – or would like to start now – every mile will contribute to educating a child. Will you join us in reaching this big goal? For details, email me at patmorgan@smoothsailingsuccess.com.
Tips for Success in Reaching a BIG goal:
1. Decide.
Make a decision about what you want and set a clearly defined goal. Ask yourself: What do I want?
2. Commit.
Make a commitment to your success by defining a plan and action steps you can follow to reach your goal. It will be easier to stay on track if you are clear on the steps you must take. Ask yourself: Am I fully committed to reaching my goal?
3. Take action.
Be in action and do something every day for your goal. Ask yourself: What will I do now for my dream?
4. Partner.
Success is easier and more fun when you have someone to share the journey. Ask yourself: Who will be my success partner in reaching my goal?
