Recently, due to an unexpected financial hiccup I’ve had to make some decisions that I wasn’t really comfortable making.  As I pondered the whole “what now?” and “what should I do?” I picked up a book of motivational sayings and staring back at me from the page were these simple words. 

“You already know what to do.” 

Kind of hard to argue with the universe when something like that happens.

So although it’s not my first choice of things, I’ve sucked it up and made some financial changes that will lighten the burden slightly. 

Along with that decision came some melancholy of what I’ll be missing over the next few months.  

Then that good old gratitude and solid resolve kicked in full force.  This morning my feet hit the floor grateful for what really matters.  I’m healthy, I get to continue to workout, I get to continue to eat clean, wholesome food and I get to keep moving forward.

You see, you can’t always get what you want.   But it’s what you do when you can’t that matters most.  Set new goals and adapt to what you have to work with.  Life goes on.
