Daily Gratitude: I agree with this completely. It’s like training for races – the training is what’s the most fun for me. It’s learning about my body and what I already “know” and what I still need to learn. Practicing on hills is a form of learning.

Then it’s even more fun to put that learning process (training) to work during the actual race. And if treated right, the race creates more learning and more fun.

Learning is exciting. When you come across something new, don’t you feel excited? Don’t you want to keep seeing what’s new? Can you feel the enthusiasm and energy building?

Often times taking up something new is a wonderful way to get you out of the doldrums and feeling of boredom in a life.

In your spare time think of some things you’d like to learn but in the past might not have had the time. Can you make some time for it now?
