That’s so true, Karen. We are also limited by choices we’ve made, our values, beliefs, preferences, phobias, the list is endless. Then there is the difference between the desire for a particular outcome and the commitment we’re willing to put forth and the sacrifices we’re willing to make to achieve that outcome.

I never wanted to give up time with my family to put all my energy toward becoming rich and successful. As much as I’d like to be a model of physical fitness, I don’t want to spend the time it would take to have a sculpted physique. We can’t have it all. We just have to decide what we can’t live without and give it our best shot.
