Run N' Gunn

In the past I sent this to a friend who felt lost. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies and need to hear encouragement from a different perspective to pick ourselves up. When you find yourself feeling similar, maybe going over some of these ideas will provide some sort of insight. Maybe not, but…

One of the hardest things we run into in life is accepting situations that are out of our control. We analyze the scenario in every way possible. We tell ourselves if we just said this or just did that…. things would be different. But usually…. They wouldn’t be. Accepting that your actions, thoughts, and energy…

Roger Bannister was the first guy to break the 4 minute mile. What was before thought to be a physical impossibility, is now performed routinely by top runners. We accept things as impossible until the moment they no longer are, and then the ceiling is drastically raised. In our daily lives, we restrict ourselves every…

Smile more. To the girl who makes your coffee at Starbucks. To the guy who holds the door open for you. To the lady who lets you in her lane in traffic. To the girl you think is cute in class. To your mom and dad when you see them at home sitting on the…

There is a feeling of contentment we give ourselves in saying “oh I’ll do that one day”. We plan our life future based. Planning our happiness and accomplishments.

Sometimes we tend to look at an idea, project, scenario etc. and think about all the reasons why it wont work before we even try to make it happen. Sometimes things just work out.
