your attitude towards life defines not only who you are, but your values also.
whatever it is that has been bugging you, doesn't seem so big anymore, does it?if only we all could have the spirit that this little boy has!
(a forward i got from pops earlier this week)
i kept all the negative nancy's out of my head friday/saturday and had a most-excellent long run! a positive attitude definitely goes a long way (i know, i could afford to work on mine sometimes). happy weekending!
Awesome, Lindsay, simply awesome. Thank you - this post was just what I needed, and a really good reminder for everyone. That little boy seems so happy, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteI'll do my best to be positive about my long run tomorrow too. I do believe your attitude definitely affects how you perceive things.
ReplyDeleteHe is ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you're "back"!
ReplyDeleteI love this post. It is certainly all about attitude!
ReplyDeleteLol I wish I had read this earlier. My long run today was hell!
ReplyDeletePerfect motivation for my 1/2 tomorrow- I have been kinda down about my training but I am determined to be positive!
ReplyDeletethat first picture is amazing. what an inspiring little dude! thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteHow cool and super cute is that kid? We could all learn something from this one!
ReplyDeleteJust amazing pictures. It truly shows how important ones outlook is to having success
ReplyDeleteExcellent post and congrats again on a fantastic run! I knew you had in it in ya girl!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper job on your long run...sooooo happy you chased away the negative Nancy's...thanks for the reminder about "attitude!"
ReplyDeleteWhat a great kid! I'd love to teach him some kettlebell stuff!!
ReplyDeletePuts things into perspective for sure! And to think......all I have to do is hang!
Negative Nancy's: gone! Thank you for that post! There are so many little things that we all worry and complain about, it just takes a minute to stop and think how fortunate to have such a 'normal' life, compared to others. It's one of those, "stop and smell the roses" type of situation and how we should just enjoy life as it is and forget about the little things.
ReplyDeleteI conclude with the following:
"Don't sweat the petty stuff but don't pet the sweaty stuff!"
great post, what a cute kid...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and an amazing post :)
ReplyDeleteLoved this post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this....pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, thanks for sharing that!
ReplyDeleteThis was perfect timing. I'm having a HUGE pity party for myself right now...over many reasons & facets of my life. I should just 'suck it up' and move on...
ReplyDeleteThis boy is amazing.
Wow. Thank you for posting this, it is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWow, he is so precious! Way to make me cry, Lindsay! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this reminder.
awww.
ReplyDeleteI need reminders like this everyday. Thanks for posting.
Hope ou had a great weekend. Thanks for the great post!
ReplyDeleteI had a fairly successful week based largely on positive thinking too. I've been working on some meditation before runs to clear my mind of external stresses before my runs.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I had multiple pairs of legs like that kid. Wouldn't it be great to trade out your tired legs after a long run for your fast legs to run an interval session?
Thanks so much for sharing this! What a cutie--LOVE that smile! Lord knows I could certainly work on my attitude. I'm going to try that over the next few weeks :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a post. Every now and then I really need one of these to put things in perspective. I've got tears in my eyes.....
ReplyDeleteThis one is bookmarked. Wow. That little guy just looks like a fun-loving kid. What a way to put things in perspective. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, attitude is everything and this kid has got the right stuff. Thanks for sharing and glad your weekend runs went well!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he just AMAZING!! I was sent this email last week and think that EVERYONE should see this. Such a inspiration and thank you for posting it!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love finding role models in unexpected places? Hope you picture him next time you need to dig deep on a long run or tough speed workout. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat little kid is having a blast! Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
ReplyDeleteReally puts everything into perspective, doesn't it? Thanks for sharing.
