“There’s a whole lotta middle to this journey,” I told one of my best friends, Mo, during a FaceTime call.
On this day, I was talking about weight loss. But, really, I think it applies to almost anything meaningful we want to accomplish.
But, no one talks about the middle of the road. Why? Because it’s messy.
This is a place where we talk about the messy middle.
Too often we read about people after reaching a major goal such as weight loss, a fitness milestone, or even a sense of balance in their quest to experience peace and balance.
I have six years of killing it with my goals only to have life get in the way and push me off course.
As Chumbawumba iconically sang, “I get down, but I get up again.”
It’s not always happily or willingly. In fact, it’s often ugly and with a hefty dose of frustration and simply being pissed off.
But, I know I’m not the only one who feels this way, even if my brain tries to convince me I’m alone.
You are not alone.
Meet me in the middle and let’s move forward!
