BELIEF

I am resiting the tempation to write a long post with this. Anyone remember the long posts I used to write when I first started sharing my journey?

I could say it all again, but I'm an open book, so if you have questions, what to know what I am doing, want to know my story, just ask.

What I will say, is that when that picture on the left was taken I was lacking in self-esteem, self-confidence and in BELIEF in myself. I clung to the old status quo, gave up too easily when working on myself and allowed far too many excuses to direct the course of my ship, my rudder was rusty and I was too worn weary to learn how to sail.

These days, well sometimes I still battle with confidence, but I'm no longer afraid to sit on a plastic or flimsy chair for fear that I will break it, I can fit into spaces I could never have fit before, I can buckle up on the airplane wihtout an extra seat belt, and I can get up and down off the floor on my own and actually get up and down where before I would avoid getting down on the floor at all costs, and that just tips the scale to the many non scale victories that taking better care of my health has brought, Because you know me and the number on the scale means nothing to me, its how I feel in my skin that makes the difference. And sometime I still want to slide back into excuses, and trust me there are so many excuses I could use. But I choose to press on, and to do hard things, things I did'nt think I was capable of doing, things in the past I may not have even tried. Personal development and a shift in my mindset has a lot to do with it. But I think the real difference is BELIEF in myself and finding my purpose, mission and passion. And together with my beloved choosing to live a healhty and fulfilling lifestyle with intention and purpose.

Dreams and visions that once seemed out of reaach are on the horizon and every day we inch closer to being the best version of ourselves that we were created to be. Every day we continue to learn and to grow. That growth is not accidental, its intentional.

Eleanor Roosevelt said that "One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is exprssed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and shape ourselves."

Sobering and so true isn't it?

One of my favorite personal development guru's is John C. Maxwell he says" Growth doesn't just happen- not for me, not for you, not for anybody. You have to go after it!"

That's what we are doing and I'm right here to help if you want to join us.
