I really like lists. To be honest, my obsession kinda runs deep.
I get a thrill from writing things down, laying it all out and crossing things off. The way I see it, if it crosses your mind, you can make a list out of it. Sometimes I write things on the list that I have already completed just so I get the satisfaction of running a line through it.
I like grocery lists, to-do lists, packing lists, travel lists, bucket-list lists, activities-for-the-weekend lists and I am honestly enjoying writing this list of lists more than I should right now…
So naturally, I thought I would write a list of the things that I want to accomplish before, during and after the race.
I got out my favorite pen, a piece of paper and got to thinking.
Time passed, thoughts came and went, my brain was listening as my heart was speaking and I was trying to think of where to start. Sitting there, with a hazelnut coffee in hand, I realized that all of my desires and all of the possible items I could write on the list narrowed down to two simple points.
Two simple yet massive points.
So I pray to have my actions, thoughts and interactions be guided by these two simple points. To find a partner that helps me pursue these two simple points and a community that leads me back to these two simple points when I lose focus. I pray to fix my eyes on these two simple yet massive points.
