Doesn't it seem like life is a little easier for some people? A coworker whose work is always top-notch and on-time. A sister who didn't struggle to conceive. A partner who sheds weight seemingly without trying. And then there are those of us without "it." 

 

We give up soda with our husbands. He loses ten pounds, we gain ten. A failed training program hangs on the back of the door- a constant reminder we gave up two months ago. "It's not fair!" we complain. "Life got in the way!" is our constant excuse. 

Here's a secret many of us have long suspected but refused to believe: Life has its ups and downs for everyone. And maybe one persons downs is a little better than yours, or your ups outshines a friends; does that make one journey better or worse than another? Your journey is yours, and their journey is theirs, and Channing Tatums journey is Channing Tatums.

Embrace. Enjoy. Thrive.
