éi)有真正意識(shí)到，但我能感覺(jué)到。我的血清素和多巴胺在上升，這些會(huì)幫助我真正想象成功實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)的情景。同時(shí)，我大腦中的杏仁核也在試圖確定這個(gè)目標(biāo)對(duì)我有多重要。當(dāng)我開(kāi)始計(jì)劃如何為這次比賽進(jìn)行訓(xùn)練時(shí)，它會(huì)利用這一點(diǎn)來(lái)幫助我的額葉工作，因?yàn)檫@對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)極其重要的目標(biāo)。所以我感覺(jué)非常好，我擁有全世界所有的動(dòng)力，現(xiàn)在我需要制定計(jì)劃。我與幾位在過(guò)去幾年中參加并完成過(guò)比賽的人進(jìn)行了交談，他們指導(dǎo)我購(gòu)買(mǎi)了一份在線(xiàn)訓(xùn)練指南，這份訓(xùn)練指南將為我提供一周的訓(xùn)練計(jì)劃，告訴我到底要跑多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，這聽(tīng)起來(lái)很完美，于是我購(gòu)買(mǎi)了該指南并開(kāi)始訓(xùn)練。我還做了其他人在2022年可能都會(huì)做的事，那就是在我能接觸到的所有社交媒體平臺(tái)上分享我的目標(biāo)，以及一路走來(lái)的每一步，這實(shí)際上對(duì)我的動(dòng)力有很大幫助，因?yàn)槲姨由系拿恳粋€(gè)贊和積極評(píng)論都在激勵(lì)著我。所以，我認(rèn)為我已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了。比賽日就這樣到來(lái)了。Raceday,andBigSkyMontanain2022,wasunseasonablyhot,almostahundreddegrees.Theraceisranalmostentirelyabovetreeline,whichmeansthatyoujustareexposedtotheelementsnearlytheentiretime.Inyearspast,10%to15%oftheparticipantsendupdroppingoutoftherace.In2022,twicethatamount.Therearefourcheckpointsalongthewayintheracewithstricttimecutoffstoensurethesafetyoftherunners.Atthefourthandfinalcheckpoint,over14milesintoanearly18-milerace,Imissedthetimecutoffbylessthan5minutes.比賽當(dāng)天，2022年的蒙大拿州大天空地區(qū)異常炎熱，氣溫幾乎高達(dá)100華氏度。比賽幾乎完全在樹(shù)線(xiàn)以上進(jìn)行，這意味著你幾乎全程都暴露在大自然中。往年，10%到15%的參賽者最終會(huì)退出比賽。2022年，這個(gè)數(shù)字翻了一番。比賽沿途有四個(gè)檢查站，嚴(yán)格規(guī)定了時(shí)間截點(diǎn)，以確保選手的安全。在第四個(gè)也是最后一個(gè)檢查點(diǎn)，也就是在將近18英里的比賽中超過(guò)14英里的地方，我以不到5分鐘的差距錯(cuò)過(guò)了時(shí)間截點(diǎn)。Now,Igottoexperiencesomethingalittledifferent,failure.AndthefeelingsthatIwasexperiencingatthattime,justlikethedopamineinserotoninhitthatIgotwhenIsetthegoal,wereextremelystrong.Forthoseofyouthathavehadandexperienceanykindofamajorfailureinyourlife,you’vefeltthis.Mycortisollevelsroseimmediately.AsIwasridinginthebackofaBigSkyMountainpickuptruck,downtothefinishline,Iwastryingtodeterminewhattheheckmynextstepswere.HowwasIgoingtotellallthesepeoplethatknewaboutthisschool,thatknewaboutmytraining,thatIhadfailed?Ijustcouldn’tdoit.WhenIreachedthefinishline,wasgreetedbymywifeandchildren,alsofriendsthathadtraveledwithustoBigSkythatday.Theycomfortedme,toldmehowmuchtheylovedme,wereproudofmefortheeffortthatIputin,andthatimmediatefeelingoflovedefinitelyhelpedtocushionmyfall.ThenIwasscheduledtospeakinfrontofabout300colleaguesatasalesconferencetheweekfollowing.Ialreadyhadmypresentationcreated.ItwasapresentationaboutrunningTheRut,aboutsettingloftygoals,andhowifyouworkreallyhard,you’llhavesuccess.現(xiàn)在，我體驗(yàn)到了一些不同的東西，那就是失敗。我當(dāng)時(shí)的感受，就像我設(shè)定目標(biāo)時(shí)血清素中的多巴胺一樣，非常強(qiáng)烈。對(duì)于那些在生活中經(jīng)歷過(guò)任何重大失敗的人來(lái)說(shuō)，你們都會(huì)有這種感覺(jué)。我的皮質(zhì)醇水平立即上升，當(dāng)我坐在一輛大皮卡的后座上的時(shí)候，走到終點(diǎn)線(xiàn)的時(shí)候，我一直在試圖確定下一步到底該怎么走。我怎么才能告訴所有知道這所學(xué)校、知道我的訓(xùn)練的人，我失敗了？我沒(méi)有做到。當(dāng)我到達(dá)終點(diǎn)時(shí)，迎接我的是我的妻子和孩子，還有那天和我們一起來(lái)到大天空的朋友們。他們安慰我，告訴我他們有多愛(ài)我。他們?yōu)槲宜冻龅呐Ω械津湴粒@種愛(ài)的即刻感受無(wú)疑為我的失敗提供了緩沖。之后的一周，我被安排在一個(gè)會(huì)議上，在大約300名同事面前發(fā)言。我先前已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了演講稿，演講的主題是關(guān)于我的TheRut比賽的過(guò)程，關(guān)于樹(shù)立一些遠(yuǎn)大的理想，以及一些關(guān)于如果你真的努力，就會(huì)成功的內(nèi)容。Well,Ihadtochangemypresentation.Idecidedtostilltalkabouttherun.ButIchangedit.Italkedaboutfailure,andhowit’snottheendoftheworldthatyoucanstillexperiencefailure,nevergetupandkeepgoing.ThestandingovationthatIreceivedfrommycolleaguesthatdaywasthefinaldoseofmedicinethatIneededtorecoveronthefromtheimmediateimpactofthatfailure.ButwhatwasIgoingtodonext?Isaidabiggoal.Everybodyknewaboutit.Ifailed.Everybodyknewaboutit.Formanypeopleinthisinstance,theymaynotsetanygoalsthatloftyeveragain.Othersmaydecidetosetsmallergoalsandslowlyclimbuptheladderwheretheymayfeelsafeagaintosetagoalthatlarge.我不得不改變我的演講內(nèi)容。我決定還是談?wù)勁懿?，但我改了，我談到了失敗，失敗并不是世界末日，你仍然可以?jīng)歷失敗，永不放棄，繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。那天，同事們起立為我鼓掌，這是我從失敗的直接影響中恢復(fù)過(guò)來(lái)所需的最后一劑良藥。但我接下來(lái)要做什么呢？我說(shuō)了一個(gè)大目標(biāo)，大家都知道了。我失敗了，大家也都知道了。在這種情況下，對(duì)于許多人來(lái)說(shuō)，他們可能再也不會(huì)制定那么高遠(yuǎn)的目標(biāo)了。另一些人可能會(huì)決定先制定較小的目標(biāo)，然后慢慢往上爬，這樣他們可能會(huì)覺(jué)得再次制定這么大的目標(biāo)是安全的。Thoseofyouthatmightknowme,andIguessthosethatdon’twillnowunderstandthatdoesn’tworkforme.Idecidedtogetrightbackonthathorsethatbuckedmeoff,andIsignedupforTheRut28Kagaininearly2023.Iwasjustasexcited,butIwasalittleapprehensive,becauseIdidn’tunderstandwhatitwasthatcausedmetofail.AsIbeganmytraininginMarchandApril,myfamilyandIreceiveddevastatingnewsthatwouldchangethecourseofmytrainingthisyear.可能了解我的人和不了解我的人現(xiàn)在都會(huì)明白，這對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)是行不通的。我決定重新騎上那匹把我摔下來(lái)的馬，在2023年初再次報(bào)名TheRut，參加28公里賽。我同樣興奮，但也有些忐忑，因?yàn)槲也幻靼资鞘裁磳?dǎo)致了我的失敗。當(dāng)我在三、四月份開(kāi)始訓(xùn)練時(shí)，我和家人收到了一個(gè)毀滅性的消息，這個(gè)消息將改變我今年的訓(xùn)練進(jìn)程。Myfather,thepersonwhoinspiredmetosetthisgoalinthefirstplace,foundoutfromhisdoctorthatiscongestiveheartfailurehadfinallygottenthebestofhim.InearlyMay,hewastoldthathisconditionwastooadvancedandtherewasnothingelsethattheycoulddo.Hewasgivenjustweekstolive.Iknewatthispoint,nomatterwhathappened,nomatterhowhardItrained,itwasmorethanlikelythatmyfatherwouldnotbethe
