Thank you…  next.  

Sometimes the reason we start something isn’t as important as the fact that we start.

I never exercised growing up, until a boy broke my heart during college. It was a very short relationship, but during it he said to me, “let’s start running together”. After we broke up, I kept running, almost out of spite. I thought, “I’m going to get fit by myself”. I ran out of spite for a while, but eventually kept lacing up for myself. The rewards of running have been many, including time to myself, being out in nature and witnessing beautiful sunrises and sunsets, staying fit throughout my life, running races with the company and support of family and friends. 

We can use anger, loss, failure, or other strong emotions as fuel to better ourselves and accomplish what we need to get done.
