2. Don’t let unexpected things break your stride

Remember the 2004 Olympic marathon runner Vanderlei de Lima, who lost his stride and a seemingly certain win when a spectator momentarily pushed him off the track? Sometimes, things come at us unexpectedly. Anything can hamper our momentum if we allow it to bump us off track. It takes guts, determination and resilience to keep our stride when things seem to be trying to hinder us.
