Stay in the race!

Happy Wednesday WIW family!  I was EXTREMELY excited about this fall season but had to realize quickly that it might not be exactly how I imagined it L 
My posts have been on tips and practices to take with you in your everyday life.  What I want to talk about today is something that I think we all need to practice and it applies to everyone! Maybe you can help someone else too.

Think of life as a race.  There is a start and a finish line.  Along this race of life, there are hurdles you have to jump, there are trips and falls, there are people that may drop the baton, when you simply put trust in them to grab it for you and carry on.  You can practice all the running you want but your race is unpredictable, it will not go the way you planned 99% of the time.  With this being said, prepare yourself on your journey, practice, be smart and ready for anything that may happen.

Other people seem to have easier races than you do right? They may get ahead of you just a tad but, you don’t know if they had a hiccup before they got to where you are of way ahead of you.  No one has a perfect race, and they’re not easy.  Remember, when you get down or frustrated that you are your only competitor and if you take too much time looking behind you or too far ahead in someone else’s lane, you will easily get off your own track and lose momentum.  Keep up the speed!
