It’s easy to get overwhelmed and forget where to start. Or more importantly where you start-ED. I wake up every day with the intention to chase a goal, to chase a dream. And some days life gets in the way. Like today.

Today I got pulled over and learned my registration for my car had expired…. IN NOVEMBER. Different address, new job. It just completely slipped my mind. I had a plan for today when I woke up, but life got in the way and I spent a good portion of my day at DMV trying to get my ish together. It was frustrating. The people were nasty, I got out when it was already getting dark, and I wasn’t able to be there for my studio the way I wanted to. By the time I got home I felt like my whole day was wasted. And DAMMIT I MISSED MY WORKOUT 😡 I was so frustrated. Then I took a deep breath. My day had changed, but my goals hadn’t.

I realized how lucky I was.

I’m at a place where I can work from home if I need to. I’m at a place where I have an amazing Assistant Manager who busts her ass daily to make sure the studio is running smoothly when I’m not there. I’m at a place where I can afford (financially) to be up to date on my bills that a ticket & re-registration won’t set me back. I’m at a place where one day out of class won’t matter as much because I will be there tomorrow. (Also because the coach I took yesterday left me so sore I can’t sit/stand up without groaning) I wasn’t in this place 5 years ago. I wasn’t in this place 1 year ago. I’m at this place because of hard work and good people. I’m at this place because I wake up with the intention to chase goals daily. I wake up with the intention to chase dreams daily. And I’ll wake up tomorrow with the same intention. And one day at a time I will make my dreams happen with these intentions.

I am grateful. Grateful for my goals, my dreams, and my misadventures along the way.
