“Bid me run, and I will strive with things impossible.” William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

***

I wrote what I believe is an amazing and wonderfully motivating book. It’s titled 365.2 and it chronicles the time (in 2022) when I ran every single day – for an entire year.

Sometimes we have dreams. Sometimes we have goals. I live my life trying to achieve all of the goals I have dreamed.

For some reason, I had this desire to run every single day for a calendar year. It was something I had to do. 

Running every single day for a year was hard work. Sometimes it was fun to run, but often enough it was difficult, challenging, and seemingly impossible. Often times it was drudgery lived in real time.

But I did it.

And I wrote all about it. The good, the bad… the happy and the sad. I wrote it all. 

I wrote about running and I wrote about my life. 

I love to write. I don’t always love to read, revise, edit, and proof my writing. I find the revision process to be challenging – it’s often very difficult. It’s exacting. It’s exhausting. 

And that’s where I am today… reading, revising, editing, and polishing what should be close to the final version of this product – my latest book. 

All of life isn’t fun. It can’t be. Often the best things in life are the ones we have to work the hardest at. Writing can be like that. Publishing books is definitely like that. Once this book is out there, once it is published, my words will be accessible for all to read, review, enjoy, and (hopfully not) critique and criticize.

“You wrote that?”

Once this book comes out, like all of my books, I want it to be the best it can be.

I want this book to be a resource that others read to get inspired, to set their own goals, to strive to achieve their own goals, and to realize that nothing has to be impossible.

Sure, some things are more difficult than others. Some things that seem impossible take a long time to complete. Sometimes, as we strive to do the things that might seem impossible, we find that we have other skills and other talents. Whatever it is that we find out, in many ways, it is in reaching and striving (and failing) that we discover who we really are.

With a book like this one, the readers will get a chance to know me somewhat personally. One can’t write about a year in his life without giving the world an honest look at who he is inside – what motivates him, what inspires him, what keeps him going… 

I think it’s all good… but it is a little frightening each time I have a book published. When one is published, everyone gets to see who he is. 

For the next few weeks I’ll be working on polishing this book si it can be the best book possible. 

I think it’ll be a winner. I’m working diligently right now to make it so…
