Whilst on my usual morning run, I noticed something.

Something that I have been observing on my runs, but which I hadn’t brought to a conscious reflection until this morning…

On my running route there are about 4 sections where it seems I become a target for these annoying little birds that tries their utmost to sh&t on me.

I mean, it appears to literally be raining poop as I’m running. Thank goodness their aim sucks as I’m yet to get hit.

But this morning it got me thinking….

Just like these little birds throw their poop at me every morning – dutifully defending their turf – life throws poop at you on a daily basis.

Some days you don’t see the poop. Doesn’t mean it ain’t happening. Other days it like all you see IS poop. It is distracting as it smells, it is messy, and it gets in the way of you doing your thing.

The bottom line is this:

>> There is always gonna be poop.

>> You have the power to decide how much attention you are gonna give the poop.

>> You get to choose whether the presence of the poop is gonna make you change your ‘route’ or whether you are gonna persist despite the poop being there.

And on those days, when the annoying little birds actually gets their aim right and hits you – maybe even straight in the face – you get to choose how you react.

Choose laughter.
Choose compassion.
Choose acceptance.

Choose BELIEF in that you will wipe it off your face and be right there, tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after, to face the poop head on, as you continue to live your best life of making a difference.
