I tell myself I don\u2019t have time. I wake up late. I doomscroll. I push my workouts to \u201clater,\u201d knowing full well later never comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But then I remember the time I ran between college classes and campus clubs, eating lunch on the go because I wanted to be everywhere. I remember the sleepless nights I spent learning design, not because anyone asked me to, but because I wanted to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had no time then either. But I made it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, I promised myself I\u2019d run. Just a little. Maybe 2K. A distance that still feels like a struggle. Instead, I scrolled, I procrastinated, I made excuses. Then, as guilt gnawed at me, I put on my shoes and stepped outside. No grand motivation. Just a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first few minutes were awful. My legs felt like lead. My breath was uneven. I wanted to stop before I even got going. But I kept moving. Maybe not fast, maybe not far, but enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still can\u2019t run a 5K. But I won\u2019t get there by waiting for time to magically appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one will hand you free hours wrapped in a bow. If something is important, carve out the time. No one else will do it for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
