Long distance running is not easy. At least not for me. But just because something is hard does not mean that it should be avoided. My husband and I have been training for a 10K. Even on the days we run 2 or 3 miles there are plenty of times I want to quit. My sides hurt, my knee aches, my head throbs. But I tell myself, “Quitting is not an option. Keep running. You will not stop.” I say to myself, “Just think of how you’ll feel if you allow yourself to quit.” These thoughts (and sheer stubborn will) make me push forward.…

So you’re frustrated in your job, ministry or organization. I believe that many people leave their jobs for the wrong reasons. In fact, I think many people leave before their critical breakthrough.

So I believe there’s tremendous benefit both personally and organizationally in long term tenure. And please know I write this from a place of bias. I’ve been working…
