I went for a run the other day and I was listening to an excellent podcast by Andy Stanley. Before I knew it I had run further than I ever have before.  A lot of times I think “I just need to focus!” but my run reminded me that focus can be bad if you’re focused on the wrong thing.  If I go for a run without my ipod it ends up being a terrible run.  The whole time I’m thinking about how difficult it is and when it will end.  We all know people that talk constantly about their problems.  That’s like staring at the rear-view mirror while your trying to drive forward.  Maybe we can go further than we ever have if we focus on the solution instead of the problem.
