A Beautiful Work In Progress

by Mirna Valerio

Nobody ever achieved anything epic without doing the requisite work, even if the work itself is humdrum, boring, run-of-the-mill kind of work.

Like many runners, I do the work because I can, and there is honor in that. Honoring my body, honoring the sport.

Acknowledging and welcoming your self-worth, your own extraordinary power, is incredible. You become unstoppable.

There is still a beauty about simply doing the difficult thing that I will never be good at, for the pure pleasure of having engaged in the process.

Lean into the discomfort.
