You Gotta Give To Get

The grind is real woke up a little later today starting my total body dumbbell workout at 6:30am instead of 6am as there wasn’t a new live workout.  Well during that time my sister texts me the to do list for today.

😩

I’d forgotten we had to empty the car as we were picking up flooring.  Didn’t realize we were volunteering tonight for our local food bank.

😒

Off we went to the Pickleball court & I was feeling frazzled by the large To Do List.  I remembered we were having a picnic later in the day & were prepping for that before the concert at Butchart.  My body was tense & I was just full of the crankies.  When I’m cranky I get very upset when the ball keeps hitting the net or I have to run because I miss the ball.  Took a bit for me to focus & I did briefly think why am I doing this again? My sister said she wouldn’t let me go & then a few minutes later asked if I wanted to leave & I snapped back: “No.”

💪🏻

There’s a motto or maybe I made it up.  Who knows. “you gotta give to get” So if I want a get better at Pickleball & Tenjis I have to keep showing up.  If I want to offer service to others I volunteer when I don’t feel like it.  If I want friends I’m there for them even if life is crazy.  If I want a nice breakfast I put in the work like peeling & roasting sweet potatoes last night so it’s ready this morning. If I want to be fit I create routines & follow through. If I want to enjoy a concert at night I get up earlier in my day to get more done to free up that time.

Friends what are you willing to give to get?
