Monday Mindset: Three Little Pigs

The Ultramarathon Mindset: Trail Talk

Once upon a time . . .

You know a story is coming next when you hear this introduction.

And you know the story will require you to suspend your disbelief in what is possible.

In the story of the Three Little Pigs you have to accept that pigs have money, build houses, and negotiate business deals with strangers on the road.

You also have to believe that wolves are polite enough to knock on your door before they eat you and that they huff and puff when you refuse to let them in.

But the lesson you were supposed to learn from this story isn’t what you thought.

Building a house out of bricks isn’t good enough.
