Sunsets

The thing about racing sunsets is that in time the sunset will ultimately always win. In spite of our best efforts, and all the hope and belief we can muster, the sunset is going to win. But if we’re lucky, that sun can set with breathtaking beauty. The key is being able to enjoy that beauty while in the middle of the race’s chaotic intensity. The key is to find that balance. The key is to find that quiet. The key is to find calm. The key is to develop keen senses of both resilience and appreciation.  And with that, we not only get to run our race, and appreciate that sunset, but we also get to witness the rising of a new sun. Bringing a new day. And bringing a new race.

(The motivation behind this post came from the book Racing the Sunset by my buddy Scott Tinley)
