Reach your Goal by Surrounding Yourself with Others Who Have the Same Goal

I am not a runner. Not at all. I even leave early whenever I need to go somewhere so that I don’t have to rush, because rushing feels too close to running. I always say that I’ll run if something is chasing me, which really doesn’t happen very often.

Last week I walked along a promenade among runners. And I almost wanted to run.

This weekend I read a lot of updates from people who ran a marathon in my city. And I almost wanted to run.

I will continue to get my exercise in other ways, but while I was surrounded by runners I wanted to run.

If you have trouble motivating yourself to go somewhere new, reach a new goal, face a new challenge, surround yourself with people who are already going where you are going. Simply being near them will help.
