It is something that we dread, we get ready to go for a run (or a hike or a walk) and we look out the window and there it is rain, and we pause. What to do now? Change our plans? Not go out at all? We evaluate each option and after a bit of hesitation, we realize that there is no choice but to go out. The rain is just a distraction, not a blocker. The rain is a good test of how to think about what we are doing and how it prepares us for what else we can do. Overcoming the hesitation on something as simple as running the rain helps us with other choices that we will be confronted with. Just because there is a bit of difficulty in the way there is no reason to abandon our plans. We are geared up on our journey to keep going, to get more out of life by doing more, to be in control, and not let exogenous circumstances to take us off our game plan. Here’s to running in the rain and everything else that feels like it. Feels good, for sure…
