THE MIND RACE

Does your heart ever start racing when you start thinking about the past? You freeze. You become paralyzed for a minute and think to yourself how? why? You start a race in your mind that you're not sure if you're capable of finishing. The finish line seems so far away, it almost seems like it doesn't exist. But there's a small voice telling you to keep running, to keep trying, and that there is a finish line even though it's far far away. What do you do? Do you keep running? Or do you give up? Professional runners often say, "when your feet want to give up, run with your heart." So I say, when your mind wants to give up, run with your whole heart, and believe that there is a finish line, and that there is a prize waiting for you at the end. You may get sore, sweaty, exhausted, feel like you can't do it anymore, but you can. Listen to your heart, what is your heart telling you to do? Is it telling you to give up? If you think about it, the heart is always beating it never stops, and when it does, you no longer exist. Let your heart be a motivation for your mind race. If you stop now, you're getting rid of your existence. Your existence that has so much potential to make a difference. A difference starting within yourself and spreading out to the lives of others. Your existence could be a cleanser to someone's soul that has been consumed with poison. Think of the greatness you have in you. The greatness to protect, to love, to fight, to forgive, to rise up again after falling, to become stronger in your weaknesses, and to stand up for yourself when the world is trying to take you down. Lock your greatness in your heart, and let that greatness motivate your heart to keep beating, and let your heart motivate your mind to keep going, even though the finish line seems far, far away.
