Would you run at your full speed for 26 miles? Nope.
Not only is that impossible, but it's unhealthy. Too often, we try to go full speed through life, holding onto unrealistic expectations for ourselves, refusing to give up control of things that weigh us down and distract us and our journey becomes more burdensome then it was intended. I look at ways to implement a marathon pace throughout life. You deserve to not live life on a sprinter's pace and you can shift gears. Not only will you enjoy the journey more, but your relationships and outlook on life will be strengthened. How awesome is that?

Gossip has no positives. None. It can be really challenging at times to avoid the pull of knowing the latest word on the street with a friend or family member or keeping up on the dish at work.
Gossip impacts the ability to trust other people, it is often based on convoluted information and hurts more hearts than we can fathom.
Learning how to dodge the gossip bullet and refrain from its lure is the focus of today's episode.
