The Race Is Always Longer Than You Think

Long Race

Recently, I was running a race and thought it was over.

The finish line was within sight, so I started my final sprint.

As I cornered the last bend in the road, the finish line was not where I believed it to be.

In fact, it was still a good half mile down the road.

Since I had misjudged the end of the race, I had expended all of my energy and could only coast the remaining distance to the finish line.

This analogy holds truth for many things in life.

Don’t misjudge the finish line in your race.

Are you working on something BIG right now? If you are, my guess is that your to-do list is a mess, some part of you is afraid the project will fall apart, and your stress level is through the roof. You are simply overwhelmed.

As a human being, you have an amazing ability to do this to yourself over and over, all because you consistently overlook basic principles of time management that are easy to forget when you’re in the heat of a major project with intense deadlines.

The reality is this—if you’re feeling overwhelmed right now, you are simply being foolish. Being overwhelmed is proof that your perspective has been knocked totally out of whack.

Why?

Because overwhelm is nothing more than a product of becoming too focused on the big picture…when all you really need to worry about is what you must accomplish in the next 15 minutes.
