Stretch Quote – Finish Strong (@RobinSharma)

Starting strong is good.  Finishing strong is epic.

Robin Sharma

The past few weeks, I have been running hard.  I’m not ready to give up, but I can feel fatigue tempting me to ease up on my effort.

This is the same feeling I had while running each of my three marathons.  A marathon is 26.2 miles long.  Around 20 miles into the race, it’s common for runners to hit the wall.

In life it can be the same way.  Life is a marathon, and we start with the best of intentions, but we too often lose focus and energy before we reach the finish line.

Today, I want to remind you to finish strong.  How you finish will build character in your life and will determine your legacy.

As we enter the final lap of 2015, I encourage you to keep going.  Run through the finishing line.  Finish strong!

What keeps you pressing on when you feel like giving up?

For more encouragement to finish strong, check out my book:  On Track – Life Lessons from the Track & Field.  There’s an entire chapter dedicated to finishing strong.
