Today marks 826 consecutive days that I've run 10 kilometers or more, without missing a single day.
I won't lie, I don't make a living running; I have all my other daily activities, which are numerous, and there are days when the last thing I want to do is go for a 10-kilometer run, but that's where the magic lies.
By doing this for so long with my brain—that is, forcing myself to do things I've decided I'm going to do and doing them, regardless of my mood that day—I've learned to have discipline and consistency in all other areas of my life.
Now it's easy to be consistent in anything else I want to start and persist for as long as I want to persist.
Releasing a new song every week, being responsible not only for writing the lyrics but also for creating the beats and the entire music production, is another example of this; it requires a lot of discipline to achieve.
Most people who see me doing this challenge don't understand why I do it to myself, and well, I feel compassion for those who think that way because those people may never know their true potential.
True potential doesn't come from comfort, from doing things when they're fun, comfortable, and enjoyable.
Potential comes from doing things when they're uncomfortable, difficult, and boring, and especially when you don't feel like doing them at all.
Have you ever heard the expression that for a diamond to be formed it needs extreme pressure and temperatures?
Well, replace the word diamond with the word talent and the result of the equation is the same.
This daily discomfort has increased my resilience to face other types of discomfort that life routinely offers.
Running daily has changed my body, changed my habits, changed my diet, changed my routine, changed my mind.
Easy decisions = difficult life. Difficult decisions = easy life.
