SPRINT OR MARATHON?
When I observe the way some people go about things in life, I wonder if life's race is a sprint or marathon.
Sprint is a short distant race at top speed with high burst of activities. While marathon is long distant, extended race with sustained activities.
Life is a race but marathon rather than sprint.
A marathoner takes time to gather momentum and takes it slowly so that the energy could be sustained to complete the race.
The journey of life is far; so, dissipating high energy from the outset will not pay anyone that employs such tactics.
How to know whether you are a sprinter or a marathoner
- A sprinter in life's journey is always at competition with people.
- hurries to make things happen
- Struggles to be known
- And sometimes cut corners to get result
Meanwhile,
*** A marathoner in life's journey goes slow and steady
- At peace with competitors and colleagues
- Not bothered by other's success and achievements
- Focused and determined to achieve set goals**
The question is; are you a sprinter or a Marathoner in the journey of life?
Don't put yourself on the run because of another man's success. Go at your pace. Remember,
Slow and steady wins the race
As the year unfolds, focus on your goals and achieve them. Be a marathoner and not a sprinter in the journey of life.

Thanks for reading.
definitely a marathoner here! Just because you took longer that the others doesn't mean you don't succeed. :)
