😅 When Life Makes You Manually Adjust… Literally

🔥

Quick reflection from this past week.

I was in a minor accident on 01/02/25 drizzling, nightfall, stopped at a light 🚦 when it turned green and the other car crossed into my lane and clipped my front passenger fender. Everyone is okay 🙏🏼. Car’s in the body shop and I was given a loaner… a brand new Toyota RAV4.

Here’s the plot twist:

The seat is manual.

I’m 5’0. Between my partner and me, that means 4–7 pumps just to get my seat up every single time 😅.

At first, I laughed. Then it hit me.

How often do we complain about small inconveniences… when the real win is that we can do the thing?

I have the strength, mobility, and energy to pump my seat up. Some people are struggling just to get out of bed.

So today’s reminder for myself:

✨ Perspective matters.

✨ Gratitude beats frustration.

✨ Not every inconvenience deserves a complaint.

Sometimes life just asks us to manually adjust our mindset.

👉 What’s one small thing you used to complain about that you now see differently?
