More From John C. Maxwell

Wisdom is like the rain. its source is unlimited, but it comes down according to the season. grocers put sugar in a bag, but their supply of sugar is not the amount in the bag. when you come to a grocer, he has sugar in abundance. but he sees how much money you have brought and gives accordingly. your currency on this path is resolution and faith, and you are taught according to your resolution and faith. when you come seeking sugar, they examine your bag to see what its capacity is; then they measure out accordingly.

Buddhism advises you not to implant feelings that you don’t really have or avoid feelings that you do have. if you are miserable you are miserable; that is the reality, that is what is happening, so confront that. look it square in the eye without flinching. when you are having a bad time, examine that experience, observe it mindfully, study the phenomenon and learn its mechanics. the way out of a trap is to study the trap itself, learn how it is built. you do this by taking the thing apart piece by piece. the trap can’t trap you if it has been taken to pieces. the result is freedom.

Nearly all runners do their slow runs too fast, and their fast runs too slow." ken mierke says. "so they're just training their bodies to burn sugar, which is the last thing a distance runner wants. you've got enough fat stored to run to california, so the more you train your body to burn fat instead of sugar, the longer your limited sugar tank is going to last." -the way to activate your fat-burning furnace is by staying below your aerobic threshold--your hard-breathing point--during your endurance runs.

Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out. when the great oak is straining in the wind, the boughs drink in new beauty and the trunk sends down a deeper root on the windward side. only the soul that knows the mighty grief can know the mighty rapture, sorrows come to stretch out spaces in the heart for joy.
