Happy FriYAY Team!

One of my favourite quotes "Ï cant change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination"

And for me right now, that is so incredibly true.

Receiving the news which I was dreading on Monday morning, that after many years of being injury free and looking after myself and my bones, I have an injury which has completely guttered me. 

I now unable to complete the race at the World Championships in Taupo, an event I qualified for 5 years ago. I had worked so hard in this prep and was probably up there with the fittest & strongest I'd ever been. 

I wanted my family to be so proud of me not only racing for my country, but to be there to see my finish after I'd put in my very best effort 14th December. I think letting them down makes me the saddest. 

But. I also hope they can be incredibly proud of me for the way I handle this setback. Hopefully they can see the race is just a race and life setbacks can teach them that even during the toughest and darkest of times, it can be about how you manage and deal with your adversity. 

I hope it also shows them how to discover the meaning of purpose, value and even direction within misdirection. 

Life. It hands you experiences and then its up to us to learn the lessons and choose the best path forward.

Find your Fire,

Alli
