Thankful for a Quote on Resilience, Non +2 Days, & a Lifetime in a Nanosecond

Day 3,685

Growth:

Beyond the very extremity of fatigue distress, amounts of ease and power that we never dreamed ourselves to own, sources of strength habitually not taxed at all, because habitually we never push through the obstruction.

William James

Appreciation:

Not all days are going to be +2 days (each day I track where my day was on a -2 to +2 continuum of joy), and that’s okay. It is in the most difficult of days when we have the unique opportunity to learn the most about ourselves. Those are the days when we have to choose our attitude. The days we have a choice to make – throw in the towel or dig deep and go harder. They are not easy days to work through, they are not easy choices to to make, but they are the days that provide us an opportunity to grow into who we are supposed to be.

Presence:

The split second before my half full Diet Coke spilled in my lap while driving down the highway going 65 mph when I don’t have enough time to drive back home to get new pants and realizing that I don’t have any napkins readily available in the car… Who knew one could be so hyper focused and cycle through so many thoughts in a nanosecond before squealing as the ice cold liquid hits my crotch?

Thanks!!!
