Clearing Space

After the news broke this morning about former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno's passing, I thought that his death would inspire today's post. The more I thought about it, the more I just didn't want to go there. All of it -- the child sex abuse scandal, his passing, his tainted legacy -- is just too sad to contemplate right now.

Instead, I share another life lesson that appeared on my Pinterest feed today:

When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you.

What a great mantra to start off with this week. We all need to start clearing space for the good, right things in our lives and eliminate the clutter of wrong turns and unhelpful distractions.
