Ending up halfway is not the type of effort that Life requires of us. Halfway should be our starting point in the Marathon of Life that we live and lead.
Oft times, the tendency to run the 13.1 is thought to be good enough. However, our goal should always be fixated squarely on that 26.2!
We might start off walking, speed-walking, trotting or even jogging, but our goal should be deeply marinated in the trenches of crossing that 26.2 finish line, so that we can begin to embrace the struggle, in order to give God even Greater Glory.
We should never do something halfway or even half-hearted. That is insulting to the Greatness that has already been Deposited within us. We are already in possession of and equipped with the necessary tools, by way of our Faith, to run and compete in the race, forever striving and working towards completeness, that having run the race will afford us.
In all actuality, that 26.2 is just the STARTING point, for all of the Greatness that is to Be. Pushing through the pain, in order to realize exponential gain, can only draw us closer to the goals of accomplishment that are outlined within our Purpose.
Do your 5k's. Run your half's. But never lose sight of the bigger Vision contained within that 26.2. The benchmark doesn't change. For it is our effort that changes in order to adjust to the demands of living Life with a "26.2 Mentality."
Do not allow yourself to get caught up in a 5k mentality that only views the 13.1 as a Life journey accomplishment. Unless of course, you are continuously training in order to build up the endurance for that 26.2.
Stretch your potential and maximize the flexibility of the resources found within your Faith. They are limitless and in dire need of a good working out. The type of workout and durability that can be obtained and achieved through living a Life as the 26.2 marathon that it should be.
Never stop Growing towards the benchmark. Afterall, it is just the starting point for it all. And what you gain along the way, pays it forward for all of those 5k days.
Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit. Smile. Love. Always!
