Ottawa Race Weekend

What an atmosphere today in Ottawa. Seeing runners young and old taking part in something that brings together community and inspires people to push their limits. People run for many reasons, no matter what the reason, it's something that allows people to prove to themselves what they can achieve. You don't just decide to run a marathon one day and expect to be able to do it. The time and training it takes to prepare your body takes real dedication. When the finishers cross that finish line, it's as if all their hard work was for that moment - and for that moment it feels like they've achieved everything they worked for, and that is true happiness. Savoring the journey and the finish. One day I'd like to give the race weekend a shot myself.

To Increase Your Will Power

What does it mean to regulate your impulses? There are urges and desires within everyone, during every hour of the day and some of us are better at regulating these urges than others. There are two ends of control when talking about regulation - like two ends of a spectrum. Too much control can be bad and too little control can also be bad. The challenge is to strike the right balance depending on the situation, and this requires willful and mindful strength. Being willful requires a certain level of willpower, a strength of mind to pull out your mental reserve to resist doing what your base urges want you to do. Over time if you can consistently master these urges, then you have gained discipline. Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgement requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity. - Calvin Cool
