Today's Insight

It's going to hurt either way, so you might as well do it right  


Thaddeus Rego


These are the words I heard from my fitness expert as the burn from the abdominal circuit had kicked in and I struggled to complete my set of bicycles. The quote stuck with me because it was true then and I realized it is true about life in general.

No matter the choices we each make in life at some point we are bound to experience some form of hurt, physical or emotional.  We have a choice as to how we will react to the hurt and what we will take away from it.  I choose to acknowledge the hurt as temporary and not reflective of my true nature and know that if I move through life challenges in the right way I only grow stronger.

Today's Insight

I have learned silence from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind. Yet, strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.
