When I discuss dream, a goal or a vision with a runner or potential student, I often hear ‘the world is like this and this’. Problems instead of opportunities.

The status quo has no real interest to me except as a place to get your bearings from. I do not accept the ‘lay of the land’ or the ‘way of the world’. Everything is open to change. Once you embrace this growth mindset – and act as if you have no limits, you open doors you didn’t even know where there.
