A Change of Plans

I woke up this morning with a pain in my knee.

It was probably one of two things. Either I slept wrong or I need a new mattress.

It also rained all night, which didn't exactly make me want to go for a walk.

Meanwhile, my exercise app was screaming at me to get up, move, and drink more water.

It never stops.

What a nag.

But I'm grateful that at least one thing in my house is trying to keep me honest.

I was still toying with the idea of getting wet and going anyway, but my sensible side finally won.

Instead, my mind shifted to what else I could do to make up for the missed exercise.

So I fasted a little longer than normal and decided to do some stretching and maybe a little calisthenics to take the pressure off my knee.

I've learned not to feel guilty or beat myself up over the bumps in the road, especially when they're out of my control.

Instead, I pivot and give that thing a break.

I may have been pushing too hard, or maybe it just needed a little more time.

Life and Business Don't Always Happen the Way You Planned

Life and business don't always happen the way you planned.

I think the best way to look at it is that you're just along for the ride.

Your job is to navigate.

And I think that's the best seat to have because you also get the chance to enjoy the scenery along the way.
