Today is Easter: how fitting.
This year has been full of ups and downs for me. There are many aspects of my life that seem to constantly be in flux. I know that is typical of life but I like structure and processes (most of the time) and this feels far too wishy washy for my liking.
My journey of coming into learning to love myself for who I am, what I look like, and what I’m capable of started about 11 weeks ago.
I found a training program with an amazing support group of men and women. It’s been a huge catalyst for self improvement and internal self evaluation. It’s made me look inside and confront what is really important to me. My faith has been challenged, my core values re solidified, and my mental strength reinforced.
Your catalyst doesn’t have to be a training program or working out but you do have a fire, a passion burning within you. My advice is this: don’t let anyone; not your family, best friend, or worst enemy diminish that flame. Find a way to fan it, kindle it, make it burn brighter and then conquer your fears, your hopes, and your dreams. Don’t let anyone stop you or bully you into something you don’t want to do. You are unique- there is no one else like you on this planet- own it, live it, and be a bad ass every minute, every hour, every day.
For anyone who doesn’t think they are good enough, fast enough, pretty enough- you are all of those things and more. Your brain is beautiful, you have God given gifts to use, and someone loves you. Never forget you were put on this earth to DO SOMETHING. You have a purpose, a reason for living- find it and take on the world. You can do it. I promise.
