Do You Run?

I don’t know if many of you remember but about a year ago I was walking with my friend.  We were power walking it through the streets of downtown.  We came to a four way light intersection and paused.  We saw the “walk” neon sign that counts down the seconds.  My friend and I didn’t know we would make it.  So we stopped.  Then along came a VERY elderly man, rushed passed us and power walked it right to the other side of the street.

My friend and I just looked at each other in amazement and complete awe.  One – We were feeling lazy for not challenging ourselves to cross the street.  Two – We were embarrassed that we thought we couldn’t make it.  Three – We were inspired by the fact someone twice our age seized the opportunity.

Do You Run?

When you are challenged to pick up the speed what do you do?  When you are at a point in your life where you need to move towards the unknown do you stop?
