Have you looked up at the sky recently, Luca? It's perfect. Nothing needs to change. What requires a shift is your expectation of being something different, just as it is for your own self.
9/11/2023 CoincidencesI am a firm believer in coincidences, or as Richard Bach aptly put it, in the notion that "Everyone, every moment in your life, is there because you attracted it to yourself."
A couple of weeks ago, I lent one of my favorite books, "The Boy Who Runs," to a friend. That morning, for no particular reason, I shared with her the once-in-a-lifetime experience of running across Uganda with the book's protagonist, Julius Achon, as part of a fundraiser for The Love Mercy Foundation. It remains one of my fondest memories, right at the intersection of what makes me feel the most alive: running in extraordinary places to support causes I deeply believe in. Today, my friend mentioned that she had finished (and loved!) the book. It just so happened that I returned home from our training session to discover that it's the fourth anniversary of that glorious experience in Uganda. So, I took a moment to reflect on those few days in Uganda, the incredible country, the meaningful work that Love Mercy does for Uganda, and the remarkable people I had the privilege of meeting, especially Julius. I deeply admire you, my friend. check out https://vimeo.com/395307254 if you get the chance! 6/11/2023 Dropping into Knowing
I'm circling back to the concept of knowledge, viewing it as something to be deeply ingrained at all levels and across various aspects of our lives. Those who truly own their knowledge are easily distinguishable. They exude a different aura in the way they walk, talk, and act.
Currently, I'm in the process of dropping into my own knowledge, specifically as it pertains to my running and the final weeks of training for Coast to Kosci. This knowledge encompasses a deep understanding of my fatigue level, a profound awareness of how my body feels, recognition of my strengths and weaknesses, and informed decisions regarding race aspects from nutrition to pacing. It's about knowing what's best for me as an athlete and as Luca. I'm making the shift from merely believing that something works or is best for me to knowing it at a visceral, physical, and psychological level. It's about taking full ownership. Belief can sometimes imply a dependency on someone or something external, or even an internal state. Knowing, however, is straightforward and unadulterated. It's liberating. It allows me to operate from a place of unencumbered authenticity and grow, no matter the circumstances. 1/11/2023 100 miles an hour
Going at 100 miles an hour. Sometimes, there's no other way to handle this hectic phase in my life, and I must acknowledge that some things will inevitably slip through the cracks. Focusing more on practicality, it comes down to determining what is genuinely essential to make my day function effectively and, more importantly, make it meaningful.
30/10/2023 Just Begin
Whatever it is that you want, need, hope, or think of doing, just begin. Step out of your mind, get out of your own way, and take that first step.
Let everything else snowball from there.
