A Better Way
Create a slipstream for multiple benefits.
I'd like to start with a quote as food for thought:
"Win, lose, or draw, just being involved in such an undertaking was itself ennobling. It was an uplifting enterprise that we all intuitively understood to be such, and I now know that almost incidentally the spiritual force of our effort created a slipstream that drew all else in our lives along with it, and made us better in other ways as well. Better, happier, more complete human beings than we would have been otherwise.”
Those lines are from Again to Carthage, John L. Parker's 2007 followup to his classic 1978 novel Once a Runner. In the sequel, Parker's main character—who expresses the quoted thoughts—has hit a lull in his life. He's struggling. Nothing is quite "wrong.” But neither are things quite right.
