Aerosmith says “life’s a journey not a destination”, Ferris Bueller tells us to “stop and look around once in a while”, and another reminds us that “most people miss life while making grand plans for it.”
I talk a lot about planning in setting goals, finding the right mentors, searching for the right job and thinking about how to confront or recognize. Sometimes the only thing left is to just do it. Stop thinking. Stop planning. Stop worrying. Stop preparing. This is it. You are the one that got yourself to this moment, so just go, do it, live your life. Today as I rest from all my training for tomorrow's race, I know in the morning all I need to do is just go run.
Today’s post is dedicated to the memory of a long time friend and fraternity brother of mine, Drew Hunter. He passed away in Colorado during a kayaking accident, but in doing so he proved the point above. He fought a good fight. He lived with no regrets. He attacked the world and soaked in all its beauty. Drew allowed me to reconnect with him this winter after losing touch and we had a great time in the mountains. He showed that you can worry and doubt many things, but that life would just be much more fun if you road, climbed, skied, ran and loved whatever came in your path.
