DAY 4 OF 8

RUN LIKE A WINNER 

"Run in such a way as to get the prize" 

Once you’ve identified what moves you and what your “prize” is, you can then identify what it takes to reach that prize. How do you have to run or behave? Who do you have to become in order to fulfill your destiny? 

We learn from this passage that “everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.” We can’t just sit around and wait for things to happen, we’ll need to train and acquire the necessary skills to obtain our goals. So, what kind of training does your specific prize require? You may have to research other people who have reached similar goals or you may need to dig deeper into the field. You may need to ask around or enroll in some classes. 


As you do, answer these questions about your prize: 

I. What would I need to accomplish this year in order to reach my prize? 

II. What resources would I need to acquire in order to reach my prize? 

III. What skills would I need to develop to reach my prize? 

IV. Where can I learn these necessary skills? 

V. Who has reached a similar prize to the one I am striving for? 

VI. How can I learn from them?
