We each have a battle we deal with every day…Maybe some days it’s not so apparent, but it’s there. There is not one of us who is perfect or who doesn’t experience struggle. For some it’s physical, some it’s mental, some days it’s easy, and some days it’s rough, really rough! Maybe it’s commitment, food, addiction, exercise, anger, self worth, regardless, we all have our stuff! If I’ve learned anything these last few years it’s about dealing with the struggle during a battle, and not giving up. I’ve watched too many people throughout the years, get off track and just give up; they literally just stop trying, and give in to the struggle they’ve been trying so hard to breakthrough. Self control is tough, I totally know, but starting over is much much harder.
Why is it when we get off track, and I say we because I’ve been there, we think all hope is gone and we just quit? If you have an ALL OR NOTHING personality, then its REALLY tough haha. DO we just NOT want it bad enough? DO we expect it to be easy? DO we expect it to happen over night and loose patience? Maybe all of the above or more. I think our priorities can sometimes get out of wack, and we seem to think that the very thing we once thought was soley important, (lets just say exercise as an example) just isn’t worth the fight, the work, the struggle anymore. It’s a challenge people, I hear ya, organizing schedules, taking care of kiddos, spouses, family stuff. Balancing it all is tough. Frankly I think we give up, right before our BreakThrough.Ya I said it, we GIVE UP, just before OUR BREAKTHROUGH….
When will we make the choice and say, NO MATTER WHAT, I’m IN IT! Not just when I have good days, but when I have not so good days too! Especially when I have NOT SUCH GOOD DAYS! Believe me when I tell you, CHANGE DOES NOT happen overnight, in a month, or even in a year sometimes! If you’re committed to LONG TERM LASTING CHANGE, you need to be in it for the long haul! It’s like a MARRIAGE, just because it gets tough DOESN’T mean you give up, stop working, or walk away! People around us can talk left and right, encourage us to keep fighting the good fight and press through, but IF WE DON’T BELIEVE IN OURSELVES……. can we succeed and press through just based on others belief in us? NO. We have to have that foundation of BELIEF in OURSELVES!
And I’ll tell you this, the more you have the INNER CONFIDENCE THAT YOU CAN and WILL Do ANYTHING you put your MIND to….. The more it becomes apart of your being, and everything you are, the more you will SUCCEED! Our belief in ourselves is the FOUNDATION of our SUCCESS! Everyone on he planet can say, “Yes You Can Do It Mel…” But, without Mel believing that she can and will succeed, and meet her goals, it means very little. Want to WIN YOUR BATTLE? BELIEVE YOU WILL, BELIEVE YOU ARE, BELIEVE YOU CAN, and you WILL!
