Motivation. I have had no lust for life lately, and by lately I mean the past few months. Its unfortunate because this is my senior year in High school and I have already let my Cross Country season slip away. I had so many goals for my XC season, but I let them slip away. I’ve spent countless nights alone because theres been no drive for me to be with anyone. Im wasting away whats suppost to be the best year of my high school experience. I tend to forget that just because im leaving doesnt mean I have to act like I’m gone. There is so much im leaving behind and im not doing anything to cherish it. And my religious life is faltering also. I have been so comfortable with how things have been I stoped seeking Christ and stopped thanking him. I have been looking for something in other places, focusing on life after HS. Letting the present slip away. Its sad. But this week has been more then motivating for me. I took a day off of school because I felt it was necessary to think about life and where it stands, to reflect on my past decisions. I came to this conclusion:

I’ve been empty and too content with my average self. Christianity I think isnt about being average, nor is running. Christ was above average, Christ is beautiful and amazing and great, he wasnt an average person and he didnt do average things. we are his followers his children, his people his disciples, we arent meant to be average we were meant to be more so that we can attempt to show the things he shows us, attempt to have his light shine to the world through us. Average isnt enough. For running average is second place, winning is not average because there is only one first place. I realized im tired of being empty and average, theres no reason for anyone to be content with being average, because average is not okay. We are all capable of being more, of being the best versions of ourselves as possible. To me being above average means doing more to better myself. Doing more to be the person I want to be, not settling for the person I have been. I declare in christ name that im done settling because I dont want to spend my life this way. There is more to me then what I have allowed others to see. I cant hold back anymore and I cant be afraid of failure. Fear cant control me. I declare in Christ name that I am a new person an improved person and by his grace I am home. New life, New begging  that is what Christ has granted me. 

So now the resolution: What am  going to do about this new way of thing? Well I intend to work harder and have more faith. I intend to thank Christ and praise him every step of the way. I feel like I’ve been giving a second chance at life and I dont want to waste it. I have a month and some weeks till my track season officially starts and I am doing what I can to keep my self motivated and be the best runner and person I can be. Feeding my self with the fruit of the spirt and the best nutrition possible. There is changes to be made and I plan on making them. I wont let life slip away again. I cant.

So had a busy day so I was unable to get my times, but I did manage to figure out a running plan, so when I get my times ready I will post it for all to see!
