It sucks to be en route. The goal is the destination. But there is choice in how we arrive.
You can run a marathon in shoes below your size. It won’t make finishing feel any better, but it might prevent you from running the next one.
It hurts to realize you have a few pounds too many. Can’t the image in the mirror just…change? No, but you can loosen your belt. Let it out a notch, and get on with your diet.
Huffing and puffing won’t make the bike go faster. Breathe calmly, and arrive with something left to give.

About Forgiveness Wednesday: No matter how the week starts, by Wednesday, we’ve had enough time to kick ourselves. We’re human. We make mistakes, we regret them, and we blame ourselves. But the only way we can keep moving on is if we forgive ourselves and those around us. So every Wednesday, forgiveness is what we’ll practice.
Let’s be kind to ourselves so we can succeed.
Forgive lest you not be forgiven when your turn comes. Also it is divine to forgive, so why not try to do so.
THANKS NIK FOR ALL YOUR GENEROUS LIKES
