Show Notes
Most of us are running harder than we realize.
We keep moving — finishing one task, solving one problem, carrying one more responsibility — rarely stopping long enough to ask what all this running is doing to our souls.
There is a moment near the end of the film Forrest Gump when Forrest, after running across the country for years, simply stops. No dramatic music. No grand speech. He turns to the people who have been running behind him and says, almost casually, “I’m pretty tired. I think I’ll go home now.”
And that’s it.
No explanation. No achievement unlocked. Just a human being realizing he doesn’t need to keep running.
