Live Your Future
January 23, 2025
A few years ago, a friend set out to run a marathon despite never having jogged even a kilometer. Added to that she was also on the heavier side.
Some of us advised her to start small, like starting out with running the 10 Kilometer races first. But she was determined. She wanted to do the full marathon.
From the moment she decided, it was as if some switch had flipped. She trained every morning, ate like an athlete, and started spending time with professional marathoners.
We could all see her transform right in front of us. What once seemed audacious became routine. On race day, she didn’t just cross the finish line—she beat her own target time.
She is one of my inspirations. I picked up something valuable watching her.
If you want to change your future, you have to start living as though you’re already there. That is what she did. The day she decided to run the full marathon, she started operating as if she was a trained runner. Today she runs marathons in 3 hours.
