Authentic desires are results you want just because you want them. They may not even make rational sense, but they're authentic expressions of your being. Think about that for a moment…

Am I a runner? But do I actually run? Often and far and fast? Or do I just trot around the park a couple of times a week at the same pace as last year? • Am I a cyclist? But do I actually put in the miles? Or do I just own a nice bike or three? When did I last go for a long bike ride that made me proud? • Am I a photographer? When was the last time

while simultaneously rousing our instincts to work together. When physical activity is most psychologically fulfilling, it’s because our participation both reveals the good in us and lets us witness the good in others.

If you run, you already understand what it’s like to crave that feeling over and over again. To want to get back in touch with that version of yourself. The one you relate to more than any other.
