In the midst of my pre-holiday binge, I was presented with a business opportunity that could change my life. Of course, some extra change would be marvelous, but this could really change the course of my life. That's a bit dramatic so let me explain.
I consider myself a dreamer. I've always had dreams. I've always had visions for my life, whether realistic or downright crazy. I just love the "someday when" thoughts. The problem is, I have so many someday whens that I've never really focused on one thing and accomplished it. I believe its a mixture of fear of failure, lack of discipline, and a lack of commitment. If something doesn't happen quickly, I usually begin to doubt it will ever happen. Then I quit. Then I regret quitting and try it again. Then quit again. At which point I'm ready to switch course and try something else until I lose hope and quit again.
Now I'd like to consider this my "never give up" moments, but in reality this is me not living up to my full potential. I'm not living with the expectancy of the victory that God has for me. If I faced my fears with the knowledge that I will conquer this, I'd have to put down that donut and put in the work. It sounds cliche, but I want to live a purpose filled life that can contribute to the lives of others. I hope wanting to serve others will change my attitude towards my weight loss journey. Future opportunities depend on it.
