A New Life Awaits

So many times in the past, I would read quotes like this and think that it was just something that sounded good but that there wasn't any real truth to it. Now, I try to tell people this but I feel I fail to really convey it. Honestly, I understand why it's hard to believe. When you feel trapped, you can't see past the present. You don't see the potential. I lived this way for many years of my adult life life. Let me encourage you if weight loss is one of your goals. Please don't give up. Remain steady and consistent. I'm living proof that hard work and perseverance pay off!  A new life awaits you!!  Go get it!!

Never write someone off just because of their past!

My pastor has said the phrase many times that, "We judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions."  We should never write someone off just because they make a mistake. The grace and mercy that we hope to receive is the same that we should extend. Thankfully, God NEVER forgets His perfect plan and purpose for each of us!

Balancing Priorities

Sometimes it's hard to figure out how to balance all of the things that are important in our lives. Just like in this picture, it feels like all of our priorities are on different paths, moving in their own direction. How do you balance this?  My first recommendation is to prioritize your priorities.  It doesn't mean that you are saying something isn't important. It just means that you may have to sacrifice one thing today because something else has become more important. Also remember, those "top priorities" could change from day to day. Once you learn how to prioritize your priorities, you'll notice something else start to change. Instead of your priorities pulling you in different directions, you'll see them start to align and actually support each other!   So, here's your challenge. Take a look at your priorities. If you feel like they are pulling you in different directions, decide which ones need to be most important at certain times of the day/week. Then, focus on those priorities. Come back to the others when the time is right!

Get Jacked Up!

One of my team members posted this quote the other day and I loved it!  Too often, we focus on the negative!  It's time for us to focus on the things that motivate us to be our very best in all aspects of our lives!  Let's get ALL JACKED UP on motivation!!
