~:[CH7 - Day 196]:~ Expect the Unexpected
Never assume anything in life. Never doubt that something is possible, because right when you do, life will show you that it is and you should have had more faith. Today I provided a long overdue dinner to one of my recently graduated runners. Two years ago, you probably would have never thought it would be possible, but he proved me wrong and individually swept all the distance races. He was a pain early on, bur grew into a much more confident and SLIGHTLY more mature runner. My perspective of him changed and it created a moment that you hope for with every project that you have. Life is about expecting the unexpected. You shouldn't expect a miracle every time around, but know that if you put in the time and effort, it will pay off and even things that you never thought possible, soon can become a reality. I was taken back through so many fond memories today as I recollected many things of the past and it reminded me why I coach. I passed on a lot of things in my life to continue to coach and it's moments like these that remind me that every sacrifice was worth it. Life's a lot more difficult because I coach, but I must say, it's worth it. In sports and in life, the unexpected is something you strive for, as soon enough, the unexpected will be well within reach.
