I was talking with someone at work today about the uncertainty in the global financial markets and of course things are concerning as billions are wiped off of financial markets on a daily basis, but there is only so much that the man in the street can do to mitigate this.
We can however learn to love the simple things in life if we have forgotten this in the past. Having an appreciation for what I have in life instead of chasing things that won’t or can’t bring about any happiness is the way forward in today’s world. Gone are the 2000s and the days of buying up everything and anything that we have no real need for. It is time to show some true appreciation for things and to be grateful for all that I have.
Watching the news this evening about the famine crisis in East Africa and these people having absolutely nothing and I know how blessed I am in all that I have and in the fact that I can run and do so many other things that many people struggle to in this lifetime. Most of all I am grateful that I am able to help out in life and in running and give back to those that may not be as blessed.
Only a ramble today really, but that is just the mood that I am in.
Running together – while showing appreciation for all that I have – stride for stride on a life changing ride. – Sean Muller
