Fall in love with the process.

There is nobody in the world who has broken more promises to you, than you!
There’s nobody in the world that can keep you from reaching your full potential than you!
How many times have you told yourself, “starting Monday I’m going to start… “


.

.

Start exercising…
Start saving…
Start eating healthy…
Start dating again…
Start healing…


Then Monday comes and so do the excuses. In life we find ourselves making promises to ourselves only to find ourselves back at square one. We make so many excuses that it keeps us stagnant. We have so many expectations for ourselves and our future but doing nothing will not help us reach our goals.
The reality is Nothing changes unless you change. Life is a process. Life is full of lessons, heartaches, love, happiness, hard time, good times and disappointments!


Life is about learning and doing. If we never put ourselves in a position to learn, we will never get comfortable doing the work. Work requires us to be great. It requires us to take a leap of faith even when our backs are against the wall. Work requires perseverance and diligence.

Often times as a child I would hear my mom say, “you win some, you lose some, but you can’t stop living.” That saying never made sense until I got older. I learned that every day I wake up is a blessing and it’s another opportunity to get shit right. It’s another chance to grow and go harder than I did the day before. Since my mom’s death, life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. Some days I wake up and just don’t feel like doing life. However, I have to keep pushing and heavily rely on God to be a lamp unto my feet and a lamp that guides my path. I have to choose happiness, hope, love, excellence every single day. If I want to be successful, I have to go get it!

A lot of time we miss the blessing because we are so focused on the things that we don’t have, or the relationships that are not right, or the bills that are not paid, or the weight that we didn’t lose, that we miss out on the most important thing, LIFE!
The bottom line is you must be prepared to execute the plan. You must do the work you been talking about for years or be content where you are. Just stop complaining and stop making excuses. Fall in love with the process, there are no short cuts, do the Work!


Make the decision that YOU ARE NOT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE . In order for you to reach your goals you must trust and follow your plans. Sometimes following your dreams means that you may not be able to eat and drink the things your friends eat and drink, or go where your friends go. You just have to learn how to own your moments and be ok with that.

Take dreams by the horns one day at a time. Don’t give up on yourself! Celebrate the small wins. Fall in love with the process so much that winning is your norm. Do Life.
Owning your Life is the best blessing anyone can receive. Just imagine waking up in the morning being thankful for LIFE instead of complaining. Start manifesting the things you desire.


Ps. 37:4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Take a moment and just breathe . Take 3 deep breaths and after every breath say thank you. You must become Fit to Heal. You must start the process. In the voice of my trainer, Dooley, “DON’T WAIT, GO NOW!
Wake up with a go getter attitude. Don’t allow life to body slam you, instead, Position yourself for the WIN!!
