Runnng A Mile

When you feel like you have to run is it away from something or is it onwards and upwards? Perhaps the truth is that you are killing two birds etc. You may suddenly feel an overpowering urge to bolt yet what is it that has kept you from doing so up to this point and why now? Perhaps life too has a statute of limitations and when that runs out you run the mile! There are clearly things that keep you anchored in one spot in much the same way a boat is moored in a marina. You, like that boat, will sway with the waves but in the end you remain in the same general area which can cause your progress to stagnate and this is exactly the moment when if you are even slightly intuitive, you realize you need to run. No matter how peaceful the waters it is never adviseable to remain knotted in place, anchored in port. 'Real' life can only be lived beyond the perimeters of the seemingly safe (dream) harbour ergo if you choose not to run a mile you are relegating yourself to half of what is out there for the taking. The half you get to keep if you don't run is not necessarily always the more attractive half, but in most instances it is the half that seems the easiest to maintain despite all that it is missing. I hope that you can run a mile because you need to see for yourself that there is so much more waiting for you. You have paid your marina fees and are now free to untie the rope and sail away..or run a mile.
