A wise person told me once that most things in life are temporary and, that if we are patient, endure, and wait long enough, whatever we are currently experiencing will soon be over.
This brings hope to me on a bone-chilling February day, when my body is craving a run and the treadmill holds no allure. Tomorrow, even just tomorrow, it will be 18-20 degrees warmer. So I will endure either the treadmill or a recovery day, and look forward to a great run tomorrow.
This reminds me of unpleasant tasks in other facets of my life - telling clients news they don't want to hear, testifying in court, having a difficult conversation with a colleague. The beauty of these moments is that they too build endurance - or can lead to recovery - and that they are temporary.
As life goes, the most beautiful, wonderful moments are temporary too. Let's saver the beautiful today and endure the less pleasant.
Cheers!
