Sisu

Sisu: a Finnish term loosely translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity


I love running. Not only because it keeps you in shape but also because running is very much a mental battle. The more it hurts, the more you want to give in, so the harder you push, and the better you feel in the end. You've extended your limit both physically and mentally. When your mind says "let's stop" you tell it "you can do it" and most of the time, you can. 


So with the same mentality, strive to fight your everyday battles. Not because it is easy... and not because it is pleasant, but fight knowing God is there to give you all that you need to do so. And in the end, you'll have gained the greatest. The peace of God which nothing can compare. 

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift."

—Steve Prefontaine
