Finding Moments of Inspiration Through Stressful Times
Let’s start with life — beginning with spirituality and nutrition … Why? Take a moment to pause and reflect. This is your time for change and growth — where do you need it the most?
You’re probably thinking, I don’t want to change. I’m perfectly fine where I’m at. I’ll just end up back in my old routine doing what I’m used to doing and eating what I normally eat. I don’t have the money to buy into a lifestyle change. This is too expensive for me … NOW STOP … I’m telling you right now, it’s not about the money. Let me ask you one thing, are you really truly happy with where you are right now?
It takes one change to impact your life. I want you to wake up and do me a favor. Just one day, dedicate it to me. Write everything down. I mean EVERYTHING. When you wake up, use the restroom, brush your teeth, eat…exactly what you eat, and the time if you can. Make this day a reality. Make it happen. We’re going to go through this day. Me and you. We’ll walk through it together. If you have kids, write down all the activities you’re doing with them. Jot down the time. If you’re driving, jot it down (before you turn the engine on). Make this one change. Be serious about it. I need to know the things that you value. If you’re sleeping the whole day, write that down. You obviously value rest, as you should, no one should be too busy. And that’s why I’m here, to give you that rest. What are your dreams? Don’t look back at your past. Look at your dreams, at your goals, at what you want out of life …
Do you want to manage your weight? Do you want to be healthy? Do you want to take up a hobby? Do you want to dance? This life is yours, make it yours. Look around you. Everything that is in your reality, you put in it, everything. If you were a blank slate, if you were in an empty white room, what would you bring into it? What would you keep? We need to take this one step at a time. One task at a time. So what’s the first task? For most, it’s financial freedom. Let’s make money appear to rid yourself of debt. Well, how do we do that? Receive income. Yes, you can receive income, you can start a business. How will you serve?
Winston Churchill wrote, “To every person there comes in their lifetime that special moment when you are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to you and your talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds you unprepared or unqualified for work which could have been your finest hour.”
I am going to teach you the basics, the essentials to lay a foundation of success. The ABC’s. Start with A — Ask. Asking yourself what it is you want? Write it down, list it, go on, do it, right now. B-balance. What is balance? Balance is being in harmony with all of the factors in your life that make you feel rich and abundant. It’s not more of this, and less of that, all factors are equal. C- Change. If you keep doing the same things you always do. You’ll keep getting the same things you’ve always gotten. Change it up!
