Interesting piece. Most of us by virtue we are or were triathletes will probably struggle to relate to this...but sometimes I think about the fact that I am constantly driving myself to be better. Itâs not about beating other people. Itâs not about having more or better material things. Itâs about maximizing my potential...no matter what it is.
Itâs what fulfills me.
However, there are times when Iâm like, well would I be happier taking the gas off the pedal and not pushing myself or stressing myself? I used to live and work in Northwest Arkansas...WalMart country. Life there is great. Low cost of living, friendly people, great outdoors lifestyle, good weather. I could have stayed there forever and made a decent living etc. The long timers there are really happy and have great lives. But I knew if I did it would have left a question in my mind...so we moved back to CT and I took a larger role with the company.
Whatâs your story?
