inspiring quote of the day

This is one I blatantly stole from the Roni site...

"People don’t succeed because they give up what they want the most
for what they want right now."

Boy, is that one ever bang on!
One to remember as I begin my week on the right foot. Back at work; back on track.
So, if I look back at the attached quote, it seems quite appropriate for my last week (why could this not have been posted a week earlier?).
After my fess up last Thursday, I still did not find it in me to stop sabotaging myself. I think I was in a place where I was "not ready" yet. I have always been a believer that you won't succeed until you are ready to succeed. And I don't think I was ready to succeed last week. Instead, I chose to "trudge through" my other battles - the kitchen renos (that are FINALLY finished!!!!); the summer colds being suffered by my son, my husband AND myself and my home being turned upside down. Yes, these are all excuses, but the important thing is that they were only temporary.
Every day is also a learning experience; making me stronger and wiser than I was the day before.
until tomorrow,
J

Short term 'loss' versus long-term 'gain', right?
