‼️RIGHT DOES NOT EQUAL EASY‼️
I have 4 amazing boys…2 that are now young men
Here is my baby. We went to the ballgame with my girl, Amy Galt, who had a couple extra tickets.
When the sun shone on us it was bearable…when it tucked behind a cloud and the wind picked up…it was frigid
The stands were pretty empty on this blustery evening, so Amy and I decided to sit in the seats that were empty and in the sun.
NOT OUR TICKETED SEATS
Trystan made a mention of this right away. Pointing out that we shouldn’t sit in seats we didn’t pay for.
I told him the seats we had tickets for were in the shade and it was MUCH colder over there and that we would move if someone came with tickets for wherever we were sitting in the sun.
He seemed to accept that compromise.
Technically, he is right. We had tickets for specific seats for a reason.
The idea of doing the “right” thing would NOT have been EASY and downright physically uncomfortable, perhaps unbearable. We didn’t want to be uncomfortable, so why be if we didn’t HAVE too.
I use this trivial anecdote to make the point of doing the right thing because the vast majority of us can relate to that scenario. And I would venture to guess MOST of us would have chosen the warmer seats.
There are, however, other more vital life choices we make every day and I wonder how often we pause to consider whether it’s the right choice as opposed to the “easier” and more comfortable one.
I chose to be a mom! It hasn’t always been easy, in fact, rarely has it been “easy.” For me, these 4 boys are the right choice!
Every day, as I get out of bed to do the things I HAVE and CHOOSE to do in order to provide, protect, and nurture this little nest of mine, I don’t even have to remind myself of my number 1 mission.
It’s innate. I made a promise to these lives and I will every day live up to that promise to the best of my ability.
As I drive towards my IFBB pro card, it may seem like a selfish endeavor (and def not an easy personal goal), in reality it adds to my credentials as a professional thus raising my legitimacy in my field and ultimately my income level.
Again, right not being easy!
