Running a Marathon

Will you finish the race?

Arabic

We just recently had the Palestine Marathon, Did you participate?

If you did, what did it tell you about yourself?

Are you fit or unfit?

Did something stop you performing well like lack of preparation?

If you smoke, do you feel the effects of the cigarettes as you run?

Did you make it to the end or did you give up?

All of these things tell us something about ourselves.

People run in the marathon and at the end they get a prize, A medal.

The medal isn't worth much in value but it says a lot about you.

You were willing to give it a go and you achieved something.

Many times in life we need to give things a try,

Maybe take a course in something to better ourselves, Dedicate and devote a few hours a week to something that will make us a better person, like education or just helping someone else who has a need.

If we fix our mind then we can achieve great things.

The people who didn't enter the marathon didn't get anything, it was only the participants that received the prize.

Today you can achieve great things, but only if you put yourself in the game.

Will you use excuses to stop you from achieving your goal or will you get up and knock down every obstacle that is in your way.

If you have a determined attitude and mind then you can succeed.

It may not be easy, there will be struggles along the way, at times you may feel like quitting but don't give up if you are running for a prize.

A prize that no one can take away from you.

Keep on running.
