The obstacle is the way

The obstacle is the way

This pandemic just doesn’t want to end!  At times like this I know it’s hard to remain positive, let alone motivated.  Our gym in Barrie has been locked down 4 times in the last year and it has been extremely difficult to pull through each time.  The hardest part is the "yo-yoing' back and forth and not being able to establish a set routine.  Just yesterday, Ontario’s Premiere announced that Fitness and Recreational Facilities won’t be opening for another 2 months.  I tried not to blame and point fingers after receiving this bad news.  Well, I’m not perfect! I ran to my wife and cursed at the world for a good 30 minutes. But all in all I thought I dealt with this a little better than in the past :).  

Guys, I know it’s cliche but when one door closes, another one opens.  I truly believe that.  We must find and embrace the hidden opportunities that come with every setback in life.  This may require you to temporarily change your mindset, goals, and priorities, but I promise that you will be better for it in the long run.

Find your way!
