FAILURE. I’m not a fan of it, I’m too competitive, very hard on myself, and probably annoyingly intense most days. And like most, more than anything, that word TERRIFIES me. It has held me back and prevented me from making some big decisions, because the consequences are just too scary. But a few times, I have leaped. I have sucked it up, thrown away my fears, taken BIG RISKS, and a few times I have also FAILED. And what I HAVE discovered, is that those times that I HAVE failed, when I HAVE taken risks and haven’t come out on top, that I am still alive. Still kicking. Basically the same as I was yesterday, just stronger. That those FAILURES have just built me, prepared me, given me the stamina to find real success, or even to find something BETTER than what I had originally set out to achieve. The picture below represents my goals LAST year. I posted them on Facebook for everyone to see, and then worked my butt off to achieve them. Didn’t hit a SINGLE one. Not one. And yep, it was embarrassing, yep it was painful, yep it was discouraging. But I just kept going, didn’t change my goals, actually didn’t change a thing. Stayed on the path, and actually turned UP the volume. And here I am. And this is MY YEAR. That monthly income? I am getting CLOSE, more than halfway there!!! Rental property #1, DONE. Family vacation?? We are just going to go on as many vacations as we PLEASE this year. Why? Because we can (That is, once the drainage tube is taken out of my BACK). Abs? Well, I decided to not just have ABS, but to go ALL out and compete in a fitness competition. And I’m doing ANOTHER one, because I want to. And I know what I am doing now. And I am NOT scared. And I will WIN. What if I had quit? What if I had taken a step back in December when things were hard? What if I had set lower goals, “just in case”? What if I had let the FEAR of FAILURE stop me from moving forward? Whatever you are doing (whether it be It Works or not, and of course I want you to join my business, DUH), DO IT, and DO IT BIG. Throw your fears away, and just take risks. You will survive them, you will be ok. And I swear, your BIGGEST decisions, BIGGEST leaps, and even BIGGEST failures, may very well turn into LIFECHANGERS. I am NOT special, NOT different, NOT even anything out of the ordinary. I just do NOT quit, even if I fail. :) Oh, and if you cant tell, I am slightly enthusiastic. #blamethegrammaronthepainmeds #taketheleap #thenrun #myyear #startswithone
