Pushing oneself

Those who inherently push themselves could benefit more from restraint than from more pushing.

From URP

“Overtraining is the biggest problem incurred by runners who lack the experience or discipline to cope with their own enthusiasm.” -Marty Liquori

The Holstee Manifesto

Alan Watts - What if money was no object?

From the Daily Tao...

Men are born soft and supple;
dead, they are stiff and hard.
Plants are born tender and pliant;
dead, they are brittle and dry.

Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible
is a disciple of death.
Whoever is soft and yielding
is a disciple of life.

The hard and stiff will be broken.
The soft and supple will prevail.
