We all have different struggles. They come in many forms. Some struggle with making time, food choices, getting to the gym, doing homework, cooking healthy things, choosing what to wear, relationships, commitment, etc etc..... The list goes on!
My most favorite man in this world is my daddy and he's always said to me, "People have a time!" And they do. We say that too each other pretty often now. For sure people have a time and sometimes it's us!
That saying that anything worth having is going to be hard work is crazy true! Anything you really really want to achieve or do takes total commitment and willingness to fall down or get knocked down a few times but always, no matter what get back up!
Some days I have to remind myself they this new lifestyle and commitment to being healthy really hasn't been that long considering the span of my life. And yes there are a zillion struggles. I've had to take some time and go down on some of my weight lifting to really work on my form, but I know it's for the best. I haven't been on the scale in over a month for various reasons. Most of all- I won't allow that number to mess with my head. I bought jeans a size smaller and that's enough victory in itself!
I struggle to eat right consistently. The chocolate. The peanut butter and chocolate! It's my weakness! And when it's something my mom has made, it's only like 500 times harder to resist. Some days I do, and some days I don't. It's just reality. I know a little bit won't hurt, but a little bit won't help!
I'm sharing all this because I know somebody's at that struggle point. Or you're ready to give up on whatever it might be- whether it's weight loss and fitness goals, educational goals or relationships. Really evaluate it. What matters most to you will rise above the rest. And most importantly pray. This week I heard that the most powerful prayer you can pray is "Help!" And I completely believe this!
I could never have imagined my life being like it is now or having the adventures, trials and accomplishments that have come my way.
The struggle IS real! It's real for everybody. And people have a time. What matters is how you react to it and handle the struggle. Will you fight it and fight for you? Or will you let it beat you down! Go get what you want. And let no one stand in your way!!
