60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday: “Just Goes to Show You, It’s Always Something!”

Hello to you listening in Mumbai, India!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Walking the Camino de Santiago was miles and more miles. 500 of them. No matter how many I had walked, there were still more to walk. Uphill, across hot, dry plains, and then the rains in the mountains that turned everything to muck and ankle-twisting rubble. I kept hearing “Just goes to show you, it’s always something! If it ain’t one thing it’s another!” a mantra about life from Gilda Radner's father, for her SNL character Roseanne Roseannadanna.

The voice in my head asked: “Well, Diane, what did you expect? You’re walking a pilgrimage. Beyond the miles are more miles.”

A TIP: I had to learn that the way out is through. Stop thinking that you will enjoy a trouble-free pilgrimage. Dive into the audacity of what you’ve chosen to do! Let go of trying to get free of the aches and pains, complications, limitations, and disappointments. They are part and parcel of what you said you wanted: to be a pilgrim. These problems are the pilgrimage. Now what? How will you solve them? Don’t just start over. Keep starting over. And then look back on what you achieved.  

Question: What do you do when faced with “It’s always something”?

Be well, do good work and keep in touch!
