3.5 miles: As I ran today, I was filled with the thought of the chase and how much life-to really create something worthwhile-requires a chase. Chasing after thoughts or chasing after dreams or chasing after yourself or after someone else. As I was running today, I quite literally thought back to all the times in my life I had been lead on a new/ beautiful path towards others, towards vision, towards ambition, towards greater clarity, towards helping humanity and towards unchartered waters. All of these circumstances always required a faith inside me, a resilience and most importantly the ability to continue the chase until the journey was fulfilled. 

No one likes the chase. Your legs may become tired and ankles bruised. You may feel as though the chase is going by quickly but you are making very little progress. It is a state of being that is uncomfortable, exhausting, confusing, intriguing, frustrating and sometimes even breathtaking. But clarity is often always found best when placed in a state of discomfort, When you are forced to realize that your own purpose in life is never revealed without a chase. For the chase is just the start of something new and something great. 

As I was talking to a previous mentor on the phone today she left me with this: "Keep being persistent. The more persistent you are-the more likely others will listen."

A push towards "the chase" with a spoonful of clarity for this fine Wednesday evening.
