When I first realized that I was sabotaging my own happiness, it was disappointing and shocking.
It all started around the first of the new year. I was on Facebook and saw an invitation to lose 10 pounds in 10 days. All I had to do was follow a specific diet plan for 10 days.
That didn’t sound so hard.
And then I realized what I had gotten myself into.
And it turns out following that specific plan wasn’t as easy as I thought. I enjoy food. I enjoy shopping. And most of all, I enjoy shopping for food. So when I knew exactly what I was going to get at the grocery store, shopping was no longer interesting.
And when I knew that I wasn’t going to be hungry, eating was no longer an adventure. So I had all kinds of time and I was really bored most of the time.
I didn’t know what to do with my boredom.
Had my life always been this boring?
And that’s when I realized that I was disappointed with myself because I had allowed myself to get to such a point where I wasn’t really living anymore.
Tony Robbins always says live with passion. Without food to give my life the spice, I wasn’t doing anything that I was passionate about besides my marriage. And even though I was passionate about my marriage, I was working so much that I wasn’t spending time with my loved ones.
I had to make a change.
I started to put myself first. I started to decide what I wanted and what would make me happy just because I wanted to do it not because it would make anyone else happy.
I’m starting to dream about things that I can accomplish. I’m starting to dream about a place where I can spend time with my family whenever I want to. Now, my life has excitement just because I have plans.
And I want to take you on the adventure.
So that’s why I’m writing. I’m writing to inspire you to live life to the fullest. I am writing to give you a vision of your own life in a way that would bless you and others.
And most of all I’m writing to you to lift your heart to give you hope and to let you know that there is something better and you can reach it.
The question is…
Will you do what it takes to make it happen?
