Just started reading this book and I’m finding myself saying “yes, oh my goodness, exactly yes!” Constantly. Facing your fears, letting go of control, embracing your true self, embracing faith, following what inspires you. This is how you find real joy in life. It’s the power of positivity coupled with learning how to use faith to let go of our resistance to real happiness, the need to be in control of everything, the thoughts that “it will never work”, the world telling you you have to live in misery and be a victim of “the grind”….guys I’m just starting chapter two…this book is already giving me goosebumps. So much validation with how I’ve been feeling lately.

I came across these amazing prompts the other day and I immediately thought of how helpful all of these concepts have been along my journey, getting where I am now and where I’m going, and the overall mindset I’ve been in along the way.
Guys and gals, this is powerful stuff to ponder. To journal. To make goals. To reflect. To take ownership. Be accountable. To find that will power, that determination to reach your full potential.
So often we find ourselves “wanting”. Wanting to lose weight, wanting to be fit, wanting that six pack, to fit into that outfit, to feel good, to have more energy…
guys and gals, it starts in your head. It starts with knowing who you really are and loving that person enough to let that person shine through all the garbage we deal with in the world on a daily basis, to put your best out there with confidence knowing that you can and will still be standing with all your awareness, not letting the world take your courage and strength and unique amazing qualities away from you.
Because those qualities are what will drive you. It’s different for everyone. Beyond looking good, and feeling good about the person you see on the outside. It’s about finding yourself, and loving who you are on the inside. Taking pride of that person, taking care of that person.
And when you do, that positive energy will raise from you to others and spread like crazy.
I strongly encourage you to look inside yourself and find that thing that gives you energy and joy and determination.
And then go kick some booty and rock life.
You got this. As always, I’m here to be a friend and a cheerleader whenever you need. Stay awesome!
