A small inspiration video

[PerGranbom]

This is a video I find nice in many ways, and that I think can be related to meditation, it is sports so not directly spiritualism but I think indirectly in long run because of the subjects. I hope others than me can also use this video to see it from perspective.

It is Haile Gebrselassie, a wise man talking a little in general (and what he says can be compared to spiritualism/life). He is from a poor condition to overcome hardness in special environment who came very far in life. It's especially useful for western culture people who are not so used outside their own situation.

Thank-you, PerGranbom. This is a professionally produced video with the basic them of hard work, and you can achieve your goals.  This is true for a contemplative who wishes to become a mystic.  One must learn to meditate for long periods of time every day, and to do that one has to learn to love to meditate.  One cannot learn to meditate, when meditation is unpleasant, so one has to learn to love meditation.

Please note:
I moved this topic from Insight to General Discussion, because I thought it more relevant to a general discussion than to insight, even though the subject had some insight, but it was not directly about meditation, but could apply to it.
