Life is like a marathon race

ahahha.... yep, I'm sure you can agree with that statement.

But so many people (this includes me as well) don't know and often forgot that life is actually like running a marathon race. Interestingly, there's 2 school of thoughts which somewhat are quite different to one another in its approach to living this life to the fullest but they pretty much have common purpose, to help people live life better.

1. Life is like running a marathon race where there are sets of sprints that one must take/do.

2. Life is like running a marathon race where the tracks are full of turns, up hills and down hills.

The way I see it, it's a combination of both. There are time when we need to sprint, especially when it's down hill, and there are time when we just have to cruise along so-to-speak. While doing so, we need to always be alert and stay focus.

If you're asking what scripture you can relate to it, well, there's so many of them. I list some of them below.

Bible verses:
a. Acts 20:24
b. 1 Corinthians 9:24
c. Jeremiah 29:11
