THE IN-BETWEEN

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately! Well first allow me to introduce myself! I’m Mannie- if you didn’t already know :) This is my first blog post here! As the over thinker I am , I am just trying to share some thoughts that have been resonating with me as of late— without overthinking it ! Here it is! The In-between! So many of us are living either at the starting line hoping that we can move past it forward or we are living for the finish line! Or maybe it’s just me that’s been there done that? Okay maybe not! From years of either sitting on the starting line or chasing the finish line, i’ve come to understand that the magic, the growth, the joy, the AHA moments, the “everything we seek” is happening in the In-between! In-between our fitness goals we learn to show up and not give up on ourselves again! In-between our busted can of biscuits belly we can’t seem to get over and the flat abs we aspire to acquire, we learn to love ourselves as we work on ourselves! In between the “should haves” and “could haves” we learn to give ourselves grace as we muddle through the journey of our aspirations! In-between the past we desperately want to escape at times and the future we fervently look forward to, we learn to analyze why and what and how we can do things differently to create a better tomorrow. In between I have found is where it’s at! It’s not a warm and fuzzy place always that roars with accolades or excitement, it’s more a trench, a tunnel we traverse that help us learn more about ourselves — and hopefully helps us embrace more of who we have yet to become… yeah—- the In-between is not a bad place! It’s the place we need to respect and relish because it’s the bridge between where we are and where we aspire to be—
