What would you do if you were given a second chance at life?

Most people will never have to face this reality right? With the obesity epidemic in the U.S. alone, you’re actually dead wrong! Obesity is quickly becoming a dangerous killer to so many of us.

Being overweight doesn’t actually kill you;

So there I was in utter self-pity and denial. Not really surprised by the results, but dealt with a decision. My blood pressure was high, my heart rate too high, pre-diabetic… both of my parents are insulin dependant diabetics, so I already know the risk in my own life. This was 4 weeks ago…

Lately, I’ve been slacking… or perhaps procrastinating, whichever the excuse is, my son gave me a solemn reminder.

Unaware of his actions, he was just

How many of you have hit a time in your life where it seems that life has just come to a screeching halt? Or when you take one step forward it seems you also took 10 steps backwards? This is where I am at right now in my life…

OK maybe not spiritual enlightenment but life path enlightenment.

It seems that my week from hell had a reason of coming into my life.

I’m one that doesn’t like to stay in one place too long, and I know this about myself. So starting a business has been a path of self-sabotage, fear, procrastination, hope, dreams, wondering, envy, and stagnation.

When we fail we learn… so in reality its an ongoing process that we all endure whether we know it or not. This is a great video showing what makes a great person great! It’s also a great reminder to me of why I am where I am, I’m learning, and I’m learning A LOT about how to become a great leader!

In the previous post I mentioned believing in your dreams. Belief is very powerful. By definition belief means:

“an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists: something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion or conviction: trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something.

What you believe in will make or break you.

My last post touched on dreams and I want to expand on this subject. Dreams are those child like things that, as we age, more often then not, get squished, stepped on, and demolished by society. However, in this day of age, we NEED to dream again. I believe it to be vital.

We need that hope that everything will be okay again.

I was sparked to reassess what it was I dreamed of as a child. So what was it I dreams of? Freedom. A safe place. Fun. I wanted to be a model, professional dancer, to teach people, and to have a business. I especially wanted to be accepted. So have I accomplished any of these dreams? Nope, but the fun of dreams is that we keep going until we do…

What are your personal dreams from childhood and have you accomplished any of them. If you haven’t thought about it for a while I suggest start thinking. It’s okay to dream and its fun – My dreams now are not the same as when I was little. They now have a different take on life.

Do you believe in your dreams? What does your dreams look like, feel like, taste like, sound like?

At every stage of my dreams I am becoming someone I’ve never been, so I can do something I’ve never done before. It’s a fantastic thought. It’s a deeper level of understand. Go write your dreams down and then encourage everyone around you to dream and share their dreams. Especially children. Write them down, post them up everywhere, make a collage, or a picture binder, have fun!

DARE TO DREAM AGAIN!

Until next time!

Today I am looking at my life a little differently. I had heard of this team before a year or so ago and have been introduced to them again. This time I did a little research into their story and after tears filling my eyes, only out of guilt, did I find my reason, inspiration, and motivation to look at life differently again. The commitment some people truly give to their children is amazing and I am in a place that I need to reconsider where I put my efforts into making the best life possible for my son.

I can make a difference in others lives, even if my own is in pieces. They are right about making a decision… just one decision. I am deciding that its time to make that difference in other peoples lives, to bring parents home to be with their kids, to be able to create an income that will sustain their dreams, efforts, and make living life to the fullest a reality.

What do you decide about today and the future? What kind of life will you provide and give to your children? What would you be willing to put yourself through for them? What risks would you take in order to secure their future… and yours?
