There's only a few things in life that make your insides explode with adrenaline. Those few things vary depending on who the individual is and what makes them tick. However, I'm sure just about anyone would agree that there are few events, a small number of people, and an insufficient amount of hobbies and habits that result in that incredible feeling of accomplishment or passionate potential. I reach this "high" in life when running. It's almost as if exploring a new world.
What can I push my body to do next. 4 miles? Tomorrow can I do 5?
Will I be able to sprint up that deathly hill someday? How fast can these legs go anyways?
The thrilling sense of accomplishment when I hear that familiar crunch of the gravel in my driveway knowing I just finished yet another run has become a form of music to my ears.
It's that same new awareness I had learning Norwegian while studying abroad--it's almost as if a new dimension is opening up...that feeling when a photo project I had planned turned out better than I had dared hope...the instant a Bible verse seems to literally pop out of the page and hit you on the backside of you head--finally makes sense and an overwhelming peace overcomes your whole being.
To sum it up in one word: exhilarating. What "exhilarates" your life? Savor it.
Bergie.
