When Life Gives You Lemonade

You know when you are going about every day life, and out of no where something hits you smack in the face that you know will stick with you forever? For very obvious reasons, certain things are very profound and meaningful to me. And sometimes, not very often, for very obscure reasons, something instantly penetrates my soul. Some people might see and understand how this following quote did this very thing to me when I first read it yesterday-others just may not get it.

"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

-George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

I have been teetering on a decision lately that I just could not find a finale answer. I have never gone back and forth-yes or no- so much over a choice before. It has been at the very least disturbing and frustrating that I could not discern my own heart and mind in the matter. Then, like the persistent ray of sunshine breaking through the ever powerful thick, dark stormy clouds after a downpour, I found this quote-and my answer.
