Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

WELL, basically, just like anything in life, if we CONTINUE doing the things we are doing, we will continue to get the SAME results, the same outcomes!!! I realized that it is my BELIEF that can bring me up or bring me down in any aspect of life! VISION COMES FROM THE HEART, and if the PROMISE is CLEAR, it's easy!!!

I realized soooo much, beginning with FIRST you change your thoughts, and you can CHANGE your WORLD, because FIRST you must BECOME, then you ATTRACT! :iagree: and for change to come within your life, YOU MUST BE MORE, to do MORE!!! :beating:...and if FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION, then SUCCESS is INEVITABLE!!! sooo I decided to create a PLAN, because "A Goal without a plan, is just a wish!!!..........

I asked myself:

1) What is the MOST important thing to you in your life right now?
2) What is your vision for your life in the next 5 years?
3) What is your purpose?
4) Are you in your purpose?
5) What are you good at?
6) What is your specific goal, and after knowing this, what are you going to do about it?

.....and believe me, these led to some pretty REAL hardcore facts, and some hardcore tears......and I realized, like most people out there, that I was not living my dream, I did not have a plan for a better future, I was not living my purpose, and what was I going to do about it.......

.,....then I asked myself:

1)What do you have to give up to go up?
2) Which one is BIGGER, your DREAM, or your EXCUSES
?

.....I realized that in the past, my EXCUSES were bigger than my Dreams, and Now focusing and realizing my weaknesses have allowed me to address them, and CONVERT them into strengths....into finding a way to get BETTER!!! And I realized, that when we know BETTER, we can do BETTER!!! A life of Blame is easier, and most people will blame everyone else, except themselves!.....and I chose to NOT DO THAT ANY LONGER!!!I chose to take responsibility, and put my future into my HANDS!!! And started asking myself, "ARE YOU DOING THE ACTIONS, to get the RESULTS that you want?"...and the answer was NO!!!!!!:nopity:

"SUCCESS requires you to get out of your comfort zone, because your comfort zone has kept you where you are at." and also that "Commitment is doing what you set out to do, even after the feeling has left you!"

I applied this to my ENTIRE LIFE, and I asked myself,.....what is it that I need to do TODAY to be BETTER than YESTERDAY?........

and the answer was:

1) BE TEACHABLE----learn from people who have attained what I want
2) BE WILLING to WORK---go after it...do it!
3) HAVE a DESIRE!

....it's about being able to take the hits that LIFE gives, and KEEP GOING!

I decided that....I NEVER WANT TO QUIT my DREAM and I realized, that AGE wrinkles the SKIN, and QUITTING wrinkles your SOUL!!!

....MY DREAM: Time Freedom, Financial Freedom, Unlimited time with my LOVED ones, my FAMILY, my FRIENDS, Being able to WILL my INCOME STREAM to my KIDS, and HEALTH....leaving a MARK!.......so I was HAPPY,....I did a lot of GOAL planning....and I FOUND A WAY!!!!

I had to quote this entire thing. It is jam packed with motivational thoughts and beliefs. I have been asking myself these same type questions for about two months now, and have realized so much about myself, and people in general. You just put them all in writing!! Congrats on being completely honest with yourself about the actions you were, or were not taking...Damn I know how hard that is! You summed up everything that has started a fire under my ass to really work hard for what I want in life. Great post!!

WOW!!! You have no idea how meaningful that is to hear, that you too are on the path to unleashing your inner abundance.......!!! I love that you too as well, have been pondering the same things......!!!! It truly is AMAZING when that FIRE has been ignited, and if I was able to help you out a bit as well, I'm GRATEFUL!!!! :grouphug:....

I love when certain words of inspiration come our way without us even realizing that EVERYTHING THAT MANIFESTS is BECAUSE of us!!! We are where we are TODAY, because of the decisions we have chose in the past! Where we are tomorrow, is based on the ACTIONS of today!!! SO LETS MAKE IT A GOOD ONE....EVERYDAY....let's hold ourselves accountable everyday!!!! ;) STEP BY STEP, THOUGH BY THOUGHT, we can DO THIS!!! ;)
 
THANK YOU!!! GOOD VIBES, GOOD PEOPLE, GOOD TIMES!!! :iagree:......I like that avatar,.....HOT......;).....I'm glad you stopped by!!!

No problem, I should stop by more often. Your posts are always really happy. And animated lol. The guy in the avatar is a professional fighter (Evan Tanner) that I was a big fan of. He just died so I'm givin him AV and sig props.

I heard somewhere that only 7% of people can actually visualize things in their mind then acheive them in their personal life, 12% in their business life. Fortunately, I'm in the 12%, now I want to be in the lucky 7%!!! I agree about how our past decisions effect where we are today and how are actions today have a direct corrilation with where we will be tomorrow. :cheers2: Here's to making the right decisions, taking the right actions today, to have the best tomorrow we can possibly have. Your mug is filled with ROOTbeer by the way ;)

:smilielol5:...........I like that MUG of ROOT BEER!!! ;) :cheers2:...CHEERS 2 you 2!!!!
 
....hahaha..... THANK YOU for being my inspiration as well.....I adore that you are no longer weighing yourself.....IT'S DEEPER than that....and it can be mind tantalizing!!! GOOD FOR YOU.....I've been meaning to tell you!!! :grouphug:...


I wont lie not weighing myself has been... challenging to say the least... But oddly I feel really good right now... I'm having a "small" day today and I finally am starting to feel like a normal person when I am in a crowd and not the big girl... know what I mean???

:grouphug:

:grouphug:
I know EXACTLY what you mean!!! I just want to feel like that EVERYDAY!!! YAY!!! Cheers to you.....for overcoming CHALLENGES, and BELIEVE me ....you look like the SMALL girl!!! LOL.....I can see how weighing oneself can get addicting.....that's exactly why I don't own a scale anymore!!! It's been so long since I had one of those things around! :eek:......

...the thing that I would hate the most, is that I would always be adjusting where the ZERO landed, because it was all messed up, to the point the little bar would move to the left, and then BAM 4lbs extra and then 4 lbs less...and PLAIN ol DECEIT on that old scale! GOTTA love them new digital ones.....but STILL WON'T BUY THAT EITHER!!! LOL
 
I hate the scale, but you know me :)

I weighed myself the other day and it didn't quite say what I wanted it to but, it was alright I guess... I don't weight myself often just because I've grown to hate it so much. I only use the scale at the gym too, not even the dusty old one in my house!

Sounds like your in a pretty good place right now Alta. I'm very happy for you. A lot of what you say rings true to myself as well, and I want to mellow out a little myself... This might sound bad but I don't know if I could go out to a bar and not have a drink... and I've been going out on the weekends quite a bit lately because I am determined to meet more people and connect somehow... It's a promise I made to myself that I would try to put myself out there more and I've got to keep it because I've been so lonely.

Hang in there, your amazing :)

Oh Sammy I do know what you mean!!! This is a task that I'm setting out to conquer, and I have not quit drinking for like almost 4 years now.....THEN it was hard, and NOW harder!!! As we speak I got the urge....though my HEART is STRONG, my mind, reverts back to what I know.....drinks, beer, wine!!! It is a constant task to do! And I know about the bars.....before when I have attempted to quit, I decided to completely STOP going out, and it failed me.....like you said,.....I GOT LONELY....and then realized that everyone I love to socialize around LOVE GOING OUT and HAVING DRINKS!!! :(......I LOVE IT TOO, but now, I realize that the reason it failed was because I deprived myself of the WHOLE ENTIRE ACT of socializing. I missed it, and then BACK CAME the ALCOHOL!!!.....

....so this time around....NO....I'm going down a different route....:iagree:....right now I would say I'm in the detox faze....so YOU CAN IMAGINE the cravings!!! RIDICULOUS , I tell you!!!

I'm glad that you are going out more often now, you are such an amazing individual, any HOT GUY would wanna be with you.....but you being so wonderful inside and out, I can see why you are so picky ;)!!! YOU DESERVE the BEST!!! AND IT WILL COME TO YOU!! :grouphug:.....You project this WARMTH to you, and tranquility, that is difficult to find! ..........YOU ARE AMAZING my friend!!! TRULY!!! I am a blessed individual to have such AMAZING SOULS around me in my LIFE!!! THANK YOU for being YOU!!! ;)

I feel you, although I DO have some sober friends, and a few friends who don't drink much but love to :sifone:. Part of my desire to start taking belly dancing classes and yoga classes is to connect with a group of people in a social setting that is based around fitness/spirituality/art, yadada I mean? Uh, and also females. I'm sort of staying away from boys lately, except my buddy Chris. Well, not necessarily staying away, I just stopped making booty calls....hell it's only been a few weeks, though. My point is, that maybe you can try to connect with a group of people in your community that would likewise satisfy your social nature, without the presence of alcohol??? What else are you into?

I wonder how long it'll be before I'm jonesin' for this -----> :pumpkin::conehead::pumpkin:

Oh I know exactly what you mean.....Luckily I do, I have a WHOLE other circle of friends whom I do productive self development with, another set that I go to Spinning Classes with as well as with a group of people already there, and I have this set of artist friends who are into the arts and like to do mind expanding hikes!!!....LOL.....but yeah....the closest ones to me....like to drink and take trips.....I'm all for that....I think that I'm going to try and make the drinking a TRIP AFFAIR.....;) we'll see....LOL!!!! AT LEAST 2 months though SHIT I'm giving myself that at least!!!

You know I missed going to the Bikram Yoga classes with my friend too....I don't go anymore because she gets them free and I don't :(.......WHACK.....but oh well.....I'll focus on my third eye by myself at home I guess!!!

What I really want to do is join a team of BIKERS who cycle around in huge packs at night some nights! I had a friend who was really into that and she would invite me all the time, and I never went like a LAME ASS....:(.....it wasn't my thing then....but YEAH, she moved to CAMBODIA....in the process actually....but yeah,....they are SOOOO COOL.....usually around 60 of em bicycles round up...and then in the FRONT of the gang of bicyclists there is usually this one....with a BOOM BOX, all 80's...:smilielol5:...strapped to the front of his bike so the WHOLE GANG can ROCK OUT while they ride!!! ;) YEAAAA!!! ......now all I need is a good bike, and a BIKE GANG to join ;)!!!!
 
Here's your bike for when you've had too many Poo-Baby Shakes
