What if...

What if, we gave ourselves the grace we give others? What if we started talking lovingly to our reflection the way we talk to our pets, kids, spouse or best friend? What if we stopped being so damn hard on ourselves and just loved us where we are, for who we are, whether we're who we want to be, YET, or not?

What if we just changed the conversation?

Now, let me challenge you further. I want you to close your eyes, do it, ok, read this first, then close them. Ok, close your eyes and picture your perfect life; where do you live? what do you look like, where do you travel and how often? do you fly first class or by boat? Do you homeschool your kids or drive them to school each day? What kind of car do you drive? Community service do you do? What organizations do you donate your time and money to? What does your house look like? What does your body look like? Close your eyes, can you picture your perfect life? Yes? I can see mine.

Now, why aren't you living it? And don't give me your excuses, because we all have them. I want, scratch, I need you to understand that that life you just envisioned is possible but you have to get up and do hard things to earn it. Successful people aren't lucky, they aren't special, they've just put in the work most of us aren't willing to put in. I'm done living an average life and I want to challenge you to do the same. God created us to do BIG WORKS in His name, not to live paycheck to paycheck, miserable and full of excuses. He didn't create food so we could abuse it. Every single one of us has what we need inside to live any life we want to. But it's hard, super freaking hard and a lot of people don't realize they're their only problem. I'm reading 10X Rule by Grant Cordone, I've read it before but this time a few things really smacked me; I am my problem, and I am my SOLUTION, so are you. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, MASSIVE action is what changes lives. So you can sit there and wish for her life, her marriage or her body, or you can get off your ass with me and do something about your own life. I've made all the excuses, I've done all the things wrong. I'm challenging us, TOGETHER, as women and believers to get up and NOT STOP hustling until we're proud. My buddy Josh Coats, he doesn't know who I am, but he's changing my life, said that as long as there are hospitals to be built, homeless people in our world and hungry kids (I added veterans needing help and trafficked humans) it is our MORAL & ETHICAL OBLIGATION TO BE SUCCESSFUL. There are people in third world countries who, legit, do not have the resources we do to have the things we take for granted every day. So let's stop feeling sorry for ourselves and let's get off our asses and DO something about it! Let's change the world, Let's help people live better, Let's remember that we are our problem and our solution so that every day we can go out and make a difference! Are ya with me?!
