Everybody Knows:

Someone sent me this & I thought I would share it.

Everybody Knows:
You can't be all things to all people.
You can't do all things at once.
You can't do all things equally well.
You can't do all things better than everyone else.
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.

So:
You have to find out who you are, and be that.
You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn not to compete with others,
Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*.

Then:
You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
You will have learned to live with your limitations.
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.
And you'll be a most vital mortal.

Dare To Believe:
That you are a wonderful, unique person.
That you are a once-in-all-history event.
That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.
That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.
And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.

Sorry for my lack of attention to my blog. I opted to take a long holiday. I'm back and looking forward to a GREAT year. This week I'm being a bit lazy and feel somewhat guilty, yet it's a guilty pleasure. There are two reasons. Monday I had a generic Doctor's appointment discovering that I've lost four pounds during the holidays. What a surprise. I was fully expecting to have gained weight. The second reason is that my "trainer-coach" at CrossFit is on vacation. I had planned to continue my workouts this week without Bret and work with the fill-in trainer. However the news that I'd lost weight gave me a reason I could skip my workouts this week. I'm having an internal war about this but I WILL be at CrossFit Monday ready and committed to an excellent workout.
