What is the Foundation of Your Thoughts?

Do you face mental challenges with and when running?


Our thoughts greatly affect our running.


The source of our thoughts determines the quality, the "nutrient value", of our thoughts. A robust cherry tree in fertile soil with appropriate pH and adequate irrigation produces higher yielding and greater quality cherries than a feeble cherry tree in poor soil.


What is the foundation, the source--the soil--of your thoughts and actions?


“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. (Matthew 7:24–25, NASB95)


Are you seeking and internalizing God's word, the Bible, as the source of your sustaining thoughts to endure training and tough races?


God's word strengthens and encourages us through all of life's challenges, including running. Motivation apart from and contradicting the Bible washes away once the pain arrives.


“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand." (Matthew 7:26, NASB95)


In 37+ years and 120,500++ miles of running, I have never found sustaining motivation apart from Christ, the word made flesh (John 1:1-2, 14).


Seek, Hear, Internalize and Act on God's word. This will Transform your Thoughts, your Life, your Relationships and your Running.


See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!
