Take Advantage of Being Lucky

how i feel.

I know we all have those days (maybe weeks) where it feels like the world has turned on us...we don't feel like ourselves, nothing we do seems to be quite up to par, everything seems more difficult and confusing than it should be, anger/sadness/frustration seem to be a theme of emotions we can't seem to shake...
It sucks. I know what it feels like. I would never discount anyone for feeling that way, but take a step back.
Take a deep breath.
Think about all the things that make you lucky, literally count your blessings.

Whether it be the amazing family you have, your parents, your spouse, your children
or the fact that you Crossfit, you are physically able to move your body in a way some people cannot
or that you have a job, an income, a way to provide for yourself
or that you are healthy, with minimal sickness
or that someone loves you. It doesn't matter who, just that you are loved
or that you can sleep at night without worrying about food being on the table or a roof over your head
or even more simply that you can drink coffee, you can eat candy, you can laugh, you can smile and it be genuine.

I could go on forever...but really think about it and 1 by 1, count your blessings, look at how lucky you are and LOVE IT, take advantage of it.



*Don't forget to donate, a Crossfit athlete in a horrible situation, my prayers are with him and his family.
