Have you noticed...

Have you noticed how happy you are when you get what you need, not what you want?

A deep thought. Yes, Ive been running again. I do my best thinking when I'm plodding along.

I ran my 5th half marathon just over a week ago. My fastest so far.
Giving myself what I needed, not what I wanted has certainly paid off.

I want Timtams and cakes but I need lean protein, vegies and fruit. If I had what I wanted, too often, I'd still be over 100KG but by having what I needed I'm now at a healthy BMI and running half marathons.

It's a philosophy I'm taking into my parenting too. I don't always give my kids what they want but I always give them what they need. Water, Healthy food, love, safety, routine and a place to call home.

There's always a little room for treats, too much of what you want doesn't lead to happiness.

I hope today you get what you need and not a smidgeon more!
