Why I love life!

I sit here writing this and thinking to myself, it was only 5 months ago that I was doing something completely different and not following my dreams.  I know that everyone has a purpose in life and regardless what that purpose is the main goal is to find it and do that purpose at the best of your ability. 

What changed my life was when I took the time to actually sit down and reflect on what I was doing with myself, to meditate on why I was where I sat that very day, and what I wanted to really accomplish in life.  I made a decision that day to make sure that I pursued my dreams and what it was that I really wanted to do.

So what is it that I want to do?  That is simple.  I want to help get people healthy and help them stay fit.  I want to see people living to the best of their ability.  I want to make my time here on this earth worth something more than just a life filled with should haves or could haves. 

Sitting there on the bed praying over everything, I realized that I had everything required to make all of my dreams come true.  I had the choice.  I could choose to talk about it or actually move towards that dream.  So I decided to take any kind of baby step towards helping others get healthy.  I started studying for my personal training certification, I began taking my health and fitness much more serious, and finally I began forming my philosophy for what it was going to take to be successful and started following it. 

I am not saying I am at the point in my life where my dream is fully developed.  Lord knows I have a long way to go for that.  What I am saying is that since July, I have gone from not knowing how I could reach out to people, to teaming with a company that enables me to reach as many as I so choose.  And all of this stemmed from a decision.  I chose to walk the path and stop talking about walking it. 

What do you want to do?  Where do you want to be?  The answer lies in you.  If you don’t know the answer, all you have to do is reflect on what it is that makes you happiest.  What makes you feel fulfilled?  Once you find this you have found your purpose.  And all it takes to get to the place you want to go is to take your first step towards getting it, no matter how small. 

Momentum is a crazy thing.  Anyone who has ever had to push a car knows that the first pushes are extremely hard.  But over time the car begins to feel lighter and lighter, and before you know it, the momentum from the consistent pushing has picked up so much that there is a steady pace coming from the car.  Life is the same way.  Don’t worry about the end point.  That will take care of itself.  Worry about the first steps.

Own yourself!  Run your Life!
