Tonight as Henry and Ruby were rough housing and working hard to increase our health insurance premiums, I heard him say something to her that was too poignant not to share.
A little extra detail -
I’ve been working on something for a while now, let’s just call it a project. I’ve poured so much into this work that sometimes it feels like it would be much easier to just stopping running full throttle, to take a break or to just run away from all of it. But my 9 year old who is full of wisdom amongst shenanigans, said this to his sister who kept running towards the grappling dummy she was trying to kick, “if you stop running right before you can kick it or punch it, all the running is for nothing.” Obviously he’s talking about the literal dummy in front of her but how true his words are for the rest of us.
I know this may be silly to some of you, but I hope that it encourages at least one reader. Remember that you can run your heart out, full of passion to knock out the enemy, but if you stop just before executing, all the running was useless and in vain.
