We wake up today facing another day of COVID 19 disruptions to the routines we all took for granted. The rhythms of work, family, home, community, and play have all been impacted. We have CHOICES.

The CHOICES. We can give up, give in or give it all we have.

I am convinced that we have great power in what we choose to think about. That decision to take control of our minds does not permit negative thoughts to turn into long winded negative conversations.

Paulo Coehlo the Brazilian born author of the book The Alchemist has a fantastic quote.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back.” Paulo Coelho

To make a CHOICE to push on is not easy. Persistence when there is resistance it difficult.  It is what separates those that complete marathons. That is the race we all find ourselves running in. The joy in a marathon is the making the choice to push on. The prize is not finishing first but completing the journey.

The Alchemist is a book taught me that inside every difficulty, there is a hidden opportunity. The CHOICE for each of us is to give it all we have to find it. Choose to win today.
