Chapters

When I ran a marathon, I could not even run for a mile. It was not my strength. And I ran non stop for five hours. We can do really hard things. We just get to believe. We get to have faith not just in God, but also in ourselves, in our ability to do hard things. Faith in the people around you, supporting you, the community. Faith in the process. We get to have faith. And when you have faith, you've taken the first step. All you need to do is just show yourself. But ultimately the hardest part is actually committing into it.
