> I was asked what my technique is during a run, do I concentrate on pain or ignore it. There is a great story that I took a liking to, it centers around the idea that "this too shall pass"[0]. It resonated with me because regardless of how (un)happy you are, it shall pass, a new day will begin. The current state is simply current, it does not resonate over a span of a week, or month, year, decade, etc. Our current state should be approached in a stateless manner as to refrain being too high or too low. In that frame of reference, all success/failure is part of the journey and doesn't defy ourselves.
