You Won, Dad

After completing the Cleveland Half Marathon this weekend, my 6 year old son, Brayden said to me, "Dad, you won, you got a medal."

My first thought was, "Oh buddy, Daddy wasn't even CLOSE to winning!"

Then it dawned on me. I just ran 13.1 miles. I have completed TWO full marathons previously.

Brayden is right. I did win. As does anyone that sets a goal, plans the action steps to meet their goal, and then COMPLETES their goal.

Sometimes, we make life OVERLY complicated. Sometimes it takes a 6 year old to put it back into perspective.

It's the KISS method. Keep It Super Simple OR (if you want to look at differently) Keep It Simple Stupid. :)

That's what Brayden reminded me on Sunday. Keep it simple, Dad. You WON.

Go out and win today!
