“Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.”

— Eckhart Tolle

“I run because if I didn’t, I’d be sluggish and glum and spend too much time on the couch. I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary. I run…to savor the trip along the way. Life becomes a little more vibrant, a little more intense. I like that.”
― Dean Karnazes, Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner

I have stumbled upon this quote a few times now and each time, it brings a huge smile to my face.  It reminds me to check in with what motivates decisions, actions and behaviours.  With reflection we can all get there…understanding our why’s.  This is it, from Howard Thurman…

“Don’t ask what the world needs.  Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

I hope whatever you are doing at this time, that there is at least a piece of it that makes you come alive and if not, that you are motivated to bring that change into your life.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

Leonardo da Vinci
