When we take on a journey such that we are on there are some days that feel longer and more challenging than others. This is not a judgment on our goals or our trajectory just really a function of what happens when we set our sights high and we take on difficult challenges. It was once stated by JFK that ‘we do this not because it is easy, but because it is hard”. It is from this motive and theme that we can find ourselves with our heads down and wondering about the path forward. It is a simple move but really what we need to do is to pick up our head, look ahead, smile a bit and pull our shoulders back. The physical movements will change our energy state and will make us feel that what we are doing is ok, nothing but doing the hard stuff, which is by the way, what we are all motivated to do work on while on our journey. Just a reminder if we see one in our community with their head down, then let’s give them the pep talk we just gave ourselves – it works every time…..

Loving life when I keep my head up
