Some journeys in life will always
remain memorable and very close to my heart. These are journeys with peaks and
troughs and a wonderful reminder on looking back at life once in a while and
worth every bit being grateful for. I fondly remember the days where every step
used to be an immense struggle for my aging body and most importantly the mind. Runner Andi Ball once said
what running everyday taught him "I have more self-confidence, drive, and
compassion for others than I’ve ever known. My life is infinitely better since
I started on this journey, and I don’t see it coming to an end anytime soon.
I’m proof that the hardest decision to make is the decision to try and to
believe in yourself and your own unique abilities."
As I learn to keep going and
enjoying my own journey of a healthy lifestyle coupled with running This
picture is a snap shot reminder and a beautiful flash back.Some days I look
at it and it becomes my “wake-up” call, a tiny dose of inspiration, my Zen. On the left is December 2009 Singapore half marathon after
resuming running again where every step was a struggle and on the right is November 2012, first ultramarathon of 50 kms and
running for the cause of sending a few rural kids from India to school at Isha
Vidhya.http://seeyourimpact.org/members/priyavai/.The mystic and yogi Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev said “Our lives become beautiful not because we are perfect. Our
lives become beautiful simply because we put our heart and soul into what we
are doing”. These words echo in my ears as I step out the door today for yet
another run to take on the day as it comes! Running just like meditation can be a wonderful "life" teacher.
