The difference between opportunity and obstacle is how you view it. See the positive in everything, and stop focusing on the negative. If you keep your head bent, you will miss seeing what life has to give you. When you encounter a problem, look at it as a window of opportunity, and don`t give up, then it becomes a powerful force that turns sadness into joy and depression into happiness, and makes problem-solving a habit, and you discover your hidden abilities to convert negative into positive.
What you are going through now, as an individual and as a people, is one of the most important stories of our time. Many would consider what I am doing by helping you to be reckless and that I should tell you to just sit back and seek shelter. I won't do that. I won't deny you the advice I have because of some misplaced sense of right and wrong.
I understand but that is no way to live. It may protect you from pain, but it also prevents you from the happiness that results from certain attachments.
I run track and cross country with the aspiration of earning a scholarship to a good college, and eventually going into politics and law. That dream picks me up every time I feel like quitting on the sixth mile or dogging the sprint trials.
That’s far from the only reason I keep running, though. Track and cross country adds so much color to my life. Most of my friends I acquired from track/XC. Speaking from experience, if I stopped running, I would feel like a part of me died; like there is no goal.

A great piece. Never imagined that I would be a witness to such levels of cooperation cutting across continental boundaries on a social platform.
Indeed. Substack is a great place.

"Really interested this topic"
I like that, thanks for sharing. Stay tuned for more great content.
Thanks for your speech. Running was invented about the time when someone wanted to stay alive.
Interesting perspective. I agree.
I am running away from Attachments.It makes unhappy without them.Sometimes excruciating.
I don’t want to get attached with anyone anymore. It is very scary for me to lose people who have a special place in my life.
I understand but that is no way to live. It may protect you from pain, but it also prevents you from the happiness that results from certain attachments.
I keep running away from the things that scare me. The first instinct in response to fear is ignoring, running or turning away from it.
You cannot do that. Everyday you have a choice between safety out of fear and growth, make sure to choose growth each and every time!
I love your writing.
Thank you so much! I have a lot of great stuff on the horizon, I hope you enjoy!
Another great one! Love the reminder to stay your course even if the masses cannot comprehend what you’re running to.
Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying!

That is a different perspective than I was aiming for.

Again, a different perspective than the top of the newsletter. I am glad you are enjoying though.
