142: The Pros and Cons of Labeling Ourselves As "Runner"

Personal statements that begin with “I am” carry power and strength.  They define us and lead our actions.  They are our label, often empowering, but sometimes limiting.  We also put labels on the world around us.  We group people together as though they are the same person.  We put simple labels onto situations and the people around us to make life easier.  While this is often done subconsciously, and rarely for a malevolent reason, labels can be incredibly detrimental.  Other people can feel confined or burdened by the label.  On this episode, we cover the two sides to the power of labels.
