My "Do the Right Thing" Inspiration!
Making the best choices in everyday life, when it comes to helping out someone who dropped their papers in the hallway, to skipping the scone and eating the oatmeal, calling your grandma instead of texting your friend, choosing an hour of exercise over an hour of TV, and so forth. This is what my husband calls “Doing the Right Thing” and he has made it a personal challenge to always try to Do the Right Thing. So when I started writing this blog, specifically about losing my extra weight, eating right, and trying to become a healthy person and runner, I thought it would be fitting to have my slogan be “Trying to Do the Right Thing.”
Some days are harder than others. When we get into funks, it can be hard to pull out. A family issue, a physical injury, a bad day at work, a fight with a significant other; these are all things that can spawn a funk and make it hard to choose to Do the Right Thing.
The last week I admit I have NOT done the right thing. Not even close. Since I hurt my knee I have moped around and been unhappy. Granted, other things in my life have also taken affect on my mood, I could have been happier. I could have looked at life another way. But I didn’t. I want to admit that. The last week I haven’t exercised at all, I have eaten horribly (which has made me feel sick and icky), and I haven’t been myself. I am admitting that now.
But I’m here to start fresh. Tomorrow is a new day and tomorrow I will Do the Right Thing. This is my life and I only get one. If I let one bad day turn into a week of bad days, before I know it several months will have passed me by and I will not be the person I want to be, I will merely be wading in a pool of unhappiness.
And so I am choosing to alter my attitude and outlook. I will not let my funkadelic week affect the future. I’m over it! And onto doing the right thing.
Today the Skinny Runner introduced Hillary, and I went to her blog and read about her. She’s a runner who eats healthy (how I strive to be) and is positive. She has a quote on her blog that I really like, reading: “Your thoughts turn into actions. Your actions turn into habits. Your habits turn into your character. Your character is your destiny.” This quote really meant something to me! It’s so true. Except, I don’t believe in destiny, per se, so I changed the quote to fit my life 
So here’s my “Do the Right Thing” quote of the day, and this quote will jumpstart my attitude and future! Screw last week. It’s all about THIS COMING WEEK, BABY
Your thoughts turn into actions.
Your actions turn into habits.
Your habits turn into your character.
Your character is who you are.
What do you do when you get into a funk? Do you have any inspiring quotes?
Oh, and hey, GO WIN YOURSELF A BONDI BAND
Oh and one more thing before I go.
I’d like to say thank you to my dedicated readers. Some of you are my friends, yet I don’t know all of you on a personal level but I’d like to think that through the commenting & blogging process we are becoming friends. So thank you to MY (new & old) FRIENDS and their dedication to ME and THIS BLOG I appreciate each and every reader!
Happy Friday, peepers.
