Life is like a marathon

For me it really is. And in the marathon, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish right? But without a good solid training you won't be able to finish, and that's why fewer people finish than start. That's why before you start to train you need to understand the importance of discipline. When you start the race all your attention must be center on the finish line. So if you view life as a marathon, you will value endurance (The Purpose Driven Life) Belowe you'll find some valuble quotes from that book. Vangelis - Chariots of Fire.

The way you see your life shapes your life. How you define life determines your destiny. Your perspective will influance how you invest your time, spend your money, use your talents, and value your relationships. One of the best ways to understand other people is to ask them, "How do yous see your life" You will discover that there are as many different answers to that question as there are people. I've been told that life is a circus, a minefield, a roler coaster, a puzzle, a symphony, a journey, and a dance.

People have said: life is a carousel: sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down, and sometimes you just go round and round" or life is a ten-speed bicycle with gears we never use or life is a game of cards: you have to play the hand you are delt. If I asked how you picture life, what image would come to your mind? That image is your life metaphor. It's your description of how life works and what you expect from it. people often express their life methaphors through clothes, jewelery, cars, hairstyles, bumper stickers, even tatoos. What is your view of life?
