Day 28: Dare To Try – Perfection Journey

“There is always something to learn, but I believe people need to be interested or have a connection to what they are watching.” Stutisheel was referring to the possibility of people who are observing this race from far and wide can learn something about themselves and be inspired.

“It is such an unfathomable race, an unfathomable inner journey. Of endurance, of coping with challenges, and of staying positive no matter what comes.”

“When Sri Chinmoy invited me to do the race in 2004, I had only a slight idea that I could do 5,000 km after my previous longest distance of 100km. But it somehow became possible.”

“I see that many obstacles we have are just in our own minds. That we limit ourselves. By nature we are limitless, because we are soul, we are spirit. If we are able to connect with our own higher force I believe there is nothing we cannot do.”

Before the interview concluded Stutisheel told a story from 2006 when, his wife Atandra received her spiritual name from Sri Chinmoy. “We were so happy.”

“We were just like kids. Walking together and smiling like we were in the 7th heaven.” Stutisheel describes Sri Chinmoy’s unique ability to connect to and inspire people.
