Whatever You Are… RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
Run for your life.
Every morning, in the African Savannah, the gazelle wakes up, it knows it must run fast; fast enough to outrun the fastest lion to live.
And every morning, in the African Savannah, the mighty lion wakes up, it knows it must ran fast, faster than the slowest gazelle in order to eat.
Run Fast… RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
The lion’s roar, its might and strength does not take away the fact that it needs to run, to hunt, with skill and focus in order to have a meal. Neither does the gazelle’s camouflage, agility and jumping prowess excuse it from running with all its might to avoid becoming a meal.
Have you ever wanted to do something but thought it has been done so much, or so well by others that you choose not to go there? Maybe you chose not to write and record your songs because, “what’s the point, all these celebrities are so good at it?” What about writing that book, too many writers maybe? That real estate business, is the market too saturated in your opinion? What talents and dreams are you letting lay fallow because of fear and convenient rationalization? I say run for your life!

Imagine the gazelle, instead of running as fast as it can saying, “I’m going to be a meal anyway, let me just lay here till a lion finds me.” Or the lion going, “these gazelles are so agile, what the point of trying?”
Get up, dear friend and run! Run as fast as you possibly can. Dream it. Dare it. Do it! You’ll never know how great you are and what extraordinary things you can accomplice until you give it your best shot!
So whether you’r e a gazelle or lion, friend, when the sun rises, you better be running!

I am a mom, wife, believer in God and a lover of stories. I love storytelling because I believe it is a potent means to inspire and educate.
Quite inspiring, however the other excuse the other excuse that could be given to not running is ‘what if I don’t have legs to run on’, if you don’t CRAWL and you will definitely get to your destination.
Trust misskorang to leave you yearning for more. I encourage all to read; it would be worth your while
I love it! I need to post this on my mirror and let it be my mantra for each day!

Great inspiration! I’ve been in the process of writing a book and I just feel like I need to “run” to the finish line after reading your post! I love your website too!
Go get It! Run! You better be running!
