It's The Bearded Man 165. Go One More Marathon : Pain Is Temporary, Pride Is Permanent
What’s something you’ve always wanted to do but have procrastinated taking the first step? We come up with every excuse in the book to not do and eventually time passes and we’re disappointed we still haven’t attempted it. What I’ve learned is to commit before you’re ready and then take the time to prepare yourself. I locked in my 2nd marathon before I had even crossed the starting line of the first one. Was I nervous? Did it scare me a bit? Of course, but I knew once it was on my calendar, I had no other option but to prepare for it. Today we’re going to dive into what go one more marathon experience was like and by the end I want you all to commit to something you’ve pushed off for far too long. Are you ready to face that fear? Let’s fire it up!
7 lesson from the marathon
- Lesson 1 : Commit first, then reverse engineer a plan for how you’re going to execute it.
- Lesson 2 : It may seem like we’re hurting our progress by slowing down but in reality it will help us speed up in time.
- Lesson 3 : Regardless of the circumstances, we must become our biggest supporter
- Lesson 4: Break everything down into micro steps and tell yourself to go just on more. In time, that progress will add up.
- Lesson 5 : Getting from point A to point B is no small feat regardless of what area of your life it might be. Embrace the wins and learn from the experience in how you can improve for the future
- Lesson 6 : Short term pain is temporary but pride is permanent and can be carried with you for a lifetime.
- Lesson 7 : In order to do something great, you will need a team of people around you. If you want to go far, go together.
Challenge for the listeners
- I really want ya’ll to spend 10 minutes in the next 24hrs and consider something you’ve always wanted to do but yet you’ve found every excuse in the book to push it off till later.

Think about it, commit to it by putting it on your calendar and whatever you do… make sure you show up and get it done by the deadline.
