Hard Choices

I run a mile every day no matter what.
This is a task I set myself long ago and I still am at it.
There is no end to this task. It is every day forever...
And this is not easy! It is hard! It is a hard choice that I make every day!

JFK said it well

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

What were the other things?
