Today is marathon day in NYC.  37,000 people are racing through the five Boroughs of New York City as I type this. 

Your career is a marathon. 

In the beginning you go out fast.  You want to show everyone all the hard work and training you’ve put in leading up to the race. 

As you hit the halfway point, you’re unsure if you’ll make it to the finish.  Your legs get rubbery and you think about giving up.

Then something magical happens.  At about mile 16 you find yourself reinvigorated.  You feel like a new person.  You know that all the experience and training you accumulated along the way has given you the confidence to finish the race. 

The question that everyone asks is “How can I make sure I get that feeling at mile 16?”.  The answer – It is entirely about attitude. 

If you have worked smart and accumulated the skills and knowledge along the way, and you are passionate about your chosen vocation,you will have the confidence you need to get you through. 

Where are you in the career marathon?  Have you reached the halfway point?
