Текст песни: Running in the Rain + перевод

So you look outside right, and the first thing you see through the window is

that the running conditions are terrible, they’re far from ideal

Your first inclination is to go back to bed, wait until it warms up,

maybe hang tight until the rain or snow stops, which the majority of us would

find completely reasonable by the way

But let me explain this scenario from a different angle, because this is the

exact situation when it’s most important to get out of bed, to put your running

shoes on and to head out the front door

There is an undervalued benefit that comes from putting yourself in an

uncomfortable situation

From forcing yourself to be just a little bit irrational

When you look at those who have been successful, what separates them is that

they do things and they make sacrifices that others would not

They’re the people that study until 4am

Or wake up when it’s dark outside to practice free throws

Whatever the specific skillset may be, the pattern is always the same,

they were willing to pay a price that most wouldn’t, they wanted it just a

little bit more

So what could this possibly have to do with running in the rain?

It has everything to do with it

Why is it that when you run outside on a cold, rainy day, no one’s out there?

It’s not because you’re doing anything that in itself is great or heroic,

you’re running alone because it sucks, it sucks to run in the rain right,

to have cold wind blowing in your face, that’s not relaxing or enjoyable,

it’s uncomfortable

But you’re out there when everyone else is warm inside and there is value to

that

Training yourself to follow through with your ambitions regardless of hurdles,

because life will not always be comfortable

What are going to do when things get bad?

You lose a client at work, your girlfriend leaves you, you going to stay in bed?

Cause there will always be a reason to wait for later, to hope for smoother

waters ahead, the best though, they achieve in spite of undesirable conditions

Then suddenly, meeting your goals has become a habit, not something left up for

chance

You don’t even look at the weather right, the forecast becomes very little

significance to you

So it’s cold, great, you’ll wear two sweatshirts, but you’ll figure out how to

get it done

And I’ll tell you, when you take those shoes off and head to work,

or practice or wherever your day takes you, that mentality does not leave

You look at things differently

You know, you’ll realize that 99% of the reasons we give for not doing things

they’re excuses, they’re meaningless

If you want something, do it, and guys that’s not a cliché, that’s the key to

success, find a way to get it done

And the best part, when it’s finally 72 and sunny, and the world is outside

ready to run, you’ll have lapped that place so many times that you’re not even

on the same level

You have been to hell and back and your performance will make that apparent

That’s how you become the best

So is it just a run in the rain?

You tell me
