I AM READY<\/p>\n

“Be ready at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you could become.” ~ Charles Dubois<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"FELI<\/a><\/p>\n

I reiterated this quote over and over again this week. Had me thinking of my journey in this amazing, complicated at times, and overall very blessed life. I truly feel that \u201clife\u201d is these series of events and experiences that prepares you for the next series of events and experiences. So what does it mean to be ready at any moment to sacrifice? I took the month of June and sort of gave myself a \u201chard reset\u201d throwing out what I know and believe in order to look at all that is around me with a fresh set of eyes and a chance for personal growth. It\u2019s tough looking at yourself critically, but if done with a desire to be better and do better, the outcome can be an amazing and beautiful chance for growth.<\/p>\n

I want to connect with you all on different levels other than fitness, mainly because I am honest and transparent and feel that health and fitness can leak over into many other aspects of life<\/p>\n

I AM READY!<\/p>\n

I am ready to sacrifice what I am for what I can become. I work hard everyday with this idea of \u201csacrifice\u201d. I\u2019m most puzzled though by how many left me as I started living this authentic, honest, boundary driven life. \u00a0Do people find it easier to flock when someone is hurting? I\u2019m not sure\u2026. perhaps it was just time for that \u201chard reset\u201d of things around me.<\/p>\n

I AM READY!<\/p>\n

I am ready for love and partnership. Many ask me\u2026\u201dWhy are you single\u201d? Never an easy question to answer. Another observation of mine that made me look around at my life and ask, \u201cWhat am I waiting for\u201d? Mr. Perfect isn\u2019t out there but there is someone that will respect, hold me on that pedestal, make me laugh and treat me like I deserve to be treated. Being able to sacrifice who I am for who and what I can become is hard in this category of love and personal relationships because giving your heart is risky. My career has risk as well but I can, for the most part, control the outcome, and in love I have been emotionally scarred and afraid to risk and go through it all again. My realization as of late\u2026I am READY\u2026because I would rather love and lose than never feel love at all, and know that I CAN\u2019T control everything and for once in my life have to step away from the driver seat and let HIM guide my way.<\/p>\n

I AM READY!<\/p>\n

I eat healthy, work out and overall live a healthy lifestyle. I have had a \u201chard reset\u201d in the fitness department as well. Not necessarily with my physical self but more with my mental self. Acceptance, forgiveness, love, focusing on the positive are all areas of growth for me and has taken years of \u201cexperiences\u201d to allow me to see this and believe it. It is not an easy \u201creset\u201d for me and struggle is part of the process but once I started believing it and not just writing about it my physical self started to change for the better as well. It\u2019s not the \u201cI don\u2019t care attitude\u201d that allowed me to get to this amazing point in my life but the \u201cI have nothing to prove to anyone but myself attitude\u201d that got me here.<\/p>\n

What I hope you take away from this article is taking a look at your life and examining whether you are truly \u201cREADY\u201d to make the changes necessary for what you could become? Whether it be your health, job, personal relationships\u2026.they all require some sacrifice. Let\u2019s start living \u201cselfless\u201d and a little less \u201cselfish\u201d and watch your world change for the better.<\/p>\n

Good luck and happy training!<\/p>\n
