Revisit your "WHY"... using a tool I have as a coach, I thought I would bring this up for everyone.
We all have our bad days and frusteration. So WHY? Why keep going? Why did you take that first step? Whether you began this journey for yourself, or family, or whatever. Remember your why.
If you lose sight of why you want to better yourself, and get lost in the now, you'll lose the bigger picture. In this bigger picture, is the better you.
"Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow." ~ Doug Firebaugh
My "why" was initially to get skinny... as I followed my path slowly, I found that what I really wanted, was to be healthy and happy. My kids learn from me..... my path has been ridden with twist, turns and even obstacles. It's not an overnight walk in the park. Still, I will follow myself, and if I can help some fellow travelers along the way... all the better!
"We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Last night, I ran into a curve in the road.. and found myself dancing around like an idiot, playing with my children. Anyone know 'the Carlton'? LOL If I concentrate on the "now", I miss that.... I couldn't dance around like a complete idiot a few months ago. What does that say to me? It says that I have come a long way, even though I have further to go.
The storm is behind me, the sun up ahead. I want more days like this...... I WILL have more days like this...
