Ep 98: Marathon Mentality

Video
Men’s Alliance

In a marathon, when you can't run any more, you walk for a while, but you don't throw in the towel and quit. This same lesson can be applied to everything we do in life. There's nothing wrong with taking a rest in order to recharge and then getting back into the game.  Don't be a man who gives up entirely when all that was needed was a season of rest. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
