Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

by my favorite poet, Mary Oliver

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Motivational quotes I read today that resonate with me



A goal is just an awesome way to force growth on yourself.
                                      Deena Kastor

There's no such thing as bad weather, just soft people.
                                       Bill Bowerman

Life is for participating, not for spectating.
                                        Kathrine Switzer

We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence then is not an act but a habit.
                                         Aristotle

Happiness is different from pleasure.  Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing.
                                          George Sheehan

Years ago, women sat in kitchens drinking coffee and discussing life.  Today, they cover the same topics while they run.
                                           Joan Benoit Samuelson


“Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself.”
― John Bingham

"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical.
Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either.
Then willpower will be no problem."
                                                  Emil Zatopec


(Regarding the weather quote, I am evidently a soft person)
