"I also acknowledge, along with William James, that even people engaged in repetitive, dreary, manual labor pursuits ... can still find significance in the doing - if they are linked with some great vision or ideal. These individuals, in spite of their location and circumstances, are able to display the traits of heroism, courage and strenuousness which James held so dear."
Douglas R. Hochstetler
This quote is from "Running and Philosophy", a collection of essays edited by Michael W. Austin. If you're a runner, then you should read this book. It has a lot to say about living a full, meaningful, authentic life. The thing now is to find the Ideal most meaningful to you.
