Consistent Pursuits

The other day I listened to runner Rickey Gates on the Rich Roll Podcast. It was a great episode, and Rickey has done a lot of cool things like run across America, run every single street in San Francisco and competed at a high level all over the world in ultra trail running.

Fascinating stories aside, something Rickey mentioned on the podcast really stuck with me. He talked about consistent pursuits. Specifically, he talked about how he’s been running for 25 years, and how sticking with something that long lets you really get to know it, which, translates to knowing yourself. Gates was very clear - this pursuit doesn’t need to be physical, it can be knitting, reading, woodworking, painting, lifting or a host of other things. My question to you: what you you consistently pursued for many years on end? If you’re in search of something, I have good news for you, strength and conditioning can fill that void.
