We're All Leaders

45381848_10101658588467782_6155251703596711936_n.jpg

Changing our life starts with mindset and I already know most people quit before they even begin. Don't let that be you. Become the leader of your life that you WANT to follow. Everyday. 
.
Did you know we are ALL Leaders in life? Because we are ALL leading at least one life in this world. Ourselves. When I realized this then I couldn't blame my past or others anymore for my situation. I took responsibility for my actions(or lack there of) and decided that I would become a leader that I would WANT to follow. Trust me, I'm still growing and learning...and the more I learn, the more I realize I've got a long way to go! But trust me, it feels good finally deciding to be on this journey.
.
What helped me and what might help you is confronting a few areas and taking action without letting fear of failure stop you.
.
For example I would say to myself....
.
"I lead myself into a better relationship with myself and others by listening to at least one audiobook on personal development/growth per month.

"I lead myself into a better career opportunity by connecting with and learning from 2-3 fellow Coaches per week through videos or podcasts.

"I lead myself into a healthy lifestyle by committing to a program and completing each one before moving onto the next one. I also follow my meal plan(80% of the time πŸ˜‰)
.
.
I recommend you also write down at least one area you would like to improve on and also write down HOW you will get there. And don't just write it down once. I'm talking EVERYDAY. I repeat....Changing our life starts with mindset and I already know most people quit before they ever even begin. Don't let that be you. Become the leader of your life that you WANT to follow. Everyday. Because trust me babe. You're worth it. πŸ˜˜βœŒ

I cant believe I survived my first NINJA WARRIOR COURSE!!!!!! πŸ™ŠπŸ™ˆHow often do you get out of your comfort zone!?!?! Hopefully frequently. Because, how else do we get better!!?!?? πŸ’β€β™€οΈWell tonight after my workout I went to a gym where they have a Ninja Warrior course!!!! Funny thing, they had a kids class starting and I was told I could still participate or watch if I wanted to...."ummm heck yes" was my answer 🀣 And surprisingly I was able to hang with these tweens. Literally. There were definitely some things I just couldn't do(yet) but now I know what I need to work on!!!! I was surprised though by how much I COULD do side by side with kids that were 20+ years younger than me!!!!!

Seriously guys.....Age is ONLY a number!!!! But I have to give MAJOR props to the fellow Coaches encouraging me and to the programs and supplements I've used for the past 4 years!! ......So what is it that scares you!? Signing up for Spartan, a marathon, Ninja Warrior, starting an online business...being able to (fill in the blank)?!?!?! ANNNND WHY are you waiting!?!?!? Because you will never FEEL ready. You just have to DO IT!!!!!

In ONE WEEK our next November Virtual Fit Club starts. Let's find a meal plan and program that aligns with YOUR goals!!!! This is NOT a one size fits all...because we are ALL different. Message your Coach TODAY or comment πŸ™Œ and Lets rock this thing called life. TOGETHER!!! πŸ™ŒπŸ’ŸπŸ™Œ #goaldigger #ninjawarrior #motivatedmonday

Now go prep something, seriously marking at least ONE THING off your list feels SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!!!!#dreameranddoer #mindsetiseverything #letsdothis

Disappointment

44719486_10101648302231482_7954800501919318016_n.jpg

Hey guys! Lets talk about disappointment!!! Super fun word...I know πŸ˜‚πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ But as you know I'm diving into personal development and today's topic really stood out to me. Probably because I am CONTINUALLY harsh on myself and have disappointed myself over the years. Seriously....I hear my mind go to places like.....
"Why aren't I a good leader?"
"Why am I not where I want to be in my business?"
"Why did this person block me on social media? Is it something I said?"
....and the list goes on....
Writing all this out makes me realize how ridic all that sounds...but seriously y'all. We ALL struggle with dissatisfaction and disappointment. But one thing is FOR SURE IN LIFE.πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰
Disappointment is inevitable!!! It's because life is NOT perfect. I'm sure you know this by now πŸ˜‰ But there are really only 2 ways to look at disappointment...

πŸ‘‰A failure that can lead to NEGATIVE behaviors that include blame, anger and resentment......

OR

a Learning opportunity where POSITIVE action will be taken including taking responsibility, acting with love and patience towards yourself and others and coming up with a new strategy to eventually have a better result. 

So the next time you are disappointed take a few deep breaths and ask yourself..."how would my BEST self react to this?" And map out the BEST scenario. And if it CANNOT be "fixed" then move on. There are SO MANY other things in life we have control over. Do NOT be tied up with things we CANNOT change. Especially matters of what OTHER people do. Focus instead on the GOOD you can do NOW. βœŒπŸ˜˜βœŒ #learningandgrowing#personaldevelopment #brendanburchard#melrobbins #lewishowes #brenebrown#deangraziosi #jensincero #darrenhardy

Settlers

44768094_10101647554509922_3090803000441044992_n.jpg

I truly feel we ALL can have a happy & fulfilling life. But I'm not saying everyone deserves it. Here's why I think this....

We get to a certain point in our life...usually late teens and early 20's and our parents stop "parenting " us and then we are left on our own to find out what our calling is and learn everyday how to do it well. But I feel as if most people think they are done "learning" & growing after they finish school. They stop reading. They stop investing in education they stop at the level they think they deserve...or maybe they THINK they deserve more but don't take any effort towards it.

So they stop....and they settle.
πŸ’πŸΎβ€β™€οΈThey settle in a job where they aren't fulfilled...but hey it pays the bills, right? πŸ’πŸ½β€β™‚️They settle in a relationship that is toxic but hey....they aren't alone, right?
πŸ’β€β™€οΈThey settle in their unhealthy habits.... but hey they haven't had any "Real health issues'....yet.

Ya get what I'm saying? So ask yourself ......"AM I SETTLING?
And if I DO DESERVE a better life, am I 100% showing up to have it!?!!?"

Listen, I'm not saying quit your job, leave your relationship, fire your personal trainer...but in those areas of your life are you showing up and GIVING EVERYTHING YOU GOT!?!?! If not then you know what you need to do. And after you do give it your all and you still aren't where you need to be then learn, and grow and do what you MUST DO. 

A fulfilled life is ALWAYS worth it but you must know it will be full of road blocks. Full of doubters. Full of people who judge you. (Get over that one because those people are everywhere unfortunately). Everyday you will be fighting fears and learning from your mistakes. But you MUST be willing to forgive yourself. Perfection is not the goal. Take time to learn from the those doing it better and never take advice from people who aren't successful. If you have something pulling on your heart then listen to it. Go do the thing you must do. RIGHT. NOW. Otherwise this will be a post lost to the hopeless...but I want Hope in YOUR heart and a FIRE for BETTER life....because if you are STILL reading this then I know you deserve better. And I know you know it too. πŸ’ŸπŸ§‘πŸ’Ÿ
