Hit the road.
Yesterday for the first time I ran on the road, and it was really amazing. My steps felt lighter, and time just flew. While normally I look at my watch at least ten times during the run, I hardly felt the need to see my watch yesterday.
I think I am in love with the road. For some reason, I’ve always felt a special connection with the road. Right from my biking days, I used to love being on the road. I don’t know what it is, but there is nothing as soothing as an endless stretch of a well maintained road with greenery on either side. It just puts my mind into another plane. I frequently find that when I reach office, I have no idea what I was thinking of on the road. My mind was just at some other plane.
I think I see life like a road. And the purpose is not to reach someplace, but to enjoy the road. That is why I enjoy being on the road. I feel like I am living life in the here and now.
Sometimes on the road of life, you meet some companions who will travel with you, sometimes u r running alone. Sometimes the road is good, sometimes the road is rough. When the road is good, enjoy it. When the road is rough, keep going in the belief that the next stretch will be smooth.
I think that is also a good way of selecting a life partner. Select someone who is going in the same direction as you are – someone who has the same destination. And also chose some who is going in the same speed as you are. Speed in terms of learning speed. If u learn and evolve too fast, u will always find yourself looking behind you for your companion.
“the race is long. Sometimes you are ahead, and sometimes you are behind. But in the end, you are only running against yourself.”
