Final Thoughts
Haruki Murakami has taught me something about believing in yourself and pushing forward despite any obstacle that stands in the way. I especially admire Haruki’s ability to stay consistent with his marathon and triathlon training/racing. I believe Haruki has been able to remain consistent because he believes in himself and is sufficiently self aware to enjoy the every day struggles of existing.
In March I will be reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I’m looking forward to creating new illustrations!
Peace out,
