More quotes by George A. Sheehan
We may think there is willpower involved, but more likely... change is due to want power. Wanting the new addiction more than the old one. Wanting the new me in preference to the person I am now.
George A. Sheehan
Once you have decided that winning isn't everything, you become a winner.
George A. Sheehan
Why race? The need to be tested, perhaps the need to take risks and the chance to be number one.
George A. Sheehan
Do not tell me what to do, tell me what you do. Do not tell me what is good for me, tell me what is good for you. If, at the same time, you reveal the you in me, if you become a mirror to my inner self, then you have made a reader and a friend.
George A. Sheehan
There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be.
George A. Sheehan
The music of a marathon is a powerful strain, one of those tunes of glory. It asks us to forsake pleasures, to discipline the body, to find courage, to renew faith and to become one's own person, utterly and completely.
George A. Sheehan
Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.
George A. Sheehan
Life is a positive-sum game. Everyone from the gold medallist to the last finisher can rejoice in a personal victory.
George A. Sheehan
The desire to run comes from deep within us — from the unconscious, the intuitive, the instinctive. And that desire becomes a passion when the runner learns to race. Then, the race becomes all — the lovemaking of the runner.
George A. Sheehan
I have a bumper sticker that Bowen created that says Regardless of my kids grades, they have an 'A' in my book'. Without play the child that still lives in all of us will always be incomplete. And not only physically, but creatively, intellectually, and spiritually as well.
George A. Sheehan
People begin running for any number of motives, but we stick to it for one basic reason-to find out who we really are.
George A. Sheehan
Listen to your body. Do not be a blind and deaf tenant.
George A. Sheehan
Running is just such a monastery- a retreat, a place to commune with God and yourself, a place for psychological and spiritual renewal.
George A. Sheehan
Of all the races, there is no better stage for heroism than a marathon.
George A. Sheehan
I have found my hero and he is me.
George A. Sheehan
Out on the roads there is fitness and self-discovery and the persons we were destined to be.
George A. Sheehan
And while these pounds were being shed, while the physiological miracles were occurring with the heart and muscle and metabolism, psychological marvels were taking place as well. Just so, the world over, bodies, minds, and souls are constantly being born again, during miles on the road.
George A. Sheehan
If marathoners finish they win.
George A. Sheehan
Sweat cleanses from the inside. It comes from places a shower will never reach.
George A. Sheehan
If you want to find the answers to the Big Questions about your soul, you'd best begin with the Little Answers about your body.
