I BELIEVE. HOW ‘BOUT YOU? A couple of years ago, I went through a bit of a rough patch. I purchased a home in a great neighbourhood, only to discover significant foundation, electrical and plumbing issues. After a year-long battle in court with the previous owner, I lost. I had to come up with thousands of dollars in expenses and I was distraught over the possibility that my kids and I would lose our home. I lost my job, due to corporate process, and had to take a position I was less than thrilled about, which also forced me to drop nearly $20K in salary. Not to mention, I had my heart crushed by one of the few men who’ve ever been able to make it skip a beat. At the same time, I, unknowingly, had a severe health issue that only came to light after an emergency ambulance ride to the hospital. I lost my father, my grandfather, my aunt and my uncle within a year’s time. It’s sad to say, I could actually write more...! I’m sure the stress of those years was obvious on my face and in my actions as everything weighed so heavily in my thoughts. I was lucky I only gained 20lbs in the process. Pardon my language but F*ckkk MEEEE! Talk about a downward spiral! Is there a country tune I should be singing these words to? The world had to be conspiring against me! At least, that’s how it felt. I post a lot about potential, creating momentum and the importance of personal development. Just as you can create positivity in your world, it’s just as easy to create the negative. YOUR THOUGHTS DETERMINE YOUR ACTIONS and unless you’re feeding your mind with positive messages, surrounding yourself with positive people, it’s difficult to change what you’re doing when you’re drawing from a well of what you’ve always done. When I look back, I can see how one choice could have brought me to a very different place, if I’d only taken a step back, evaluated my thoughts, considered my actions, before life FORCED me to take a seat. #timeout But you know what? Despite the anguish, I wouldn’t change a thing. Those lessons were mine and mine alone to learn! I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Lord knows, I was failing hard and I was failing often but yet here I am, humbled and empowered by the experiences that once left me feeling weak, ashamed and insignificant. In 2 years time, I have more than surpassed that $20K drop in pay and my earning potential has expanded with the addition of Beachbody in my life. I have paid back every single person that supported me and helped me get my finances back on track. My heart healed. I found forgiveness. I lost those 20 extra pounds, regained my health and discovered my passion for helping others do the same. To say my world has changed for the better is an understatement! With each tentative step forward, I learned to trust myself again. It wasn’t easy but I did it. If you see yourself in any of these words, facing your own unique challenges, HAVE FAITH! You’re so much stronger than you think! YOU have the power to change the course of your direction and respond to life’s unexpected turns. Believe it. I certainly do. :) #believe #oneChoice #thatsallittakes #createMomentum #faceFear #innerStrength #battleBack #dreamBig #overcomeObstacles #opportunitiesinDisguise #leftfield #newbeginnings teamhardcorecanada/2014/07/05/i-believe-how-bout-you/
