Have you ever just sat down and thought wow how the times have changed. How in the moment life doesn’t feel like it’s changing and then all of a sudden you sit down and life is completely different.
If you have been following my journey you know that life can change in an instant. One minute you are rocking your internship and about to start a career and the next you are in a hospital bed reevaluating your life and what your purpose is. Life has also changed for the better to one minute I am rolling along life and now I am living each and every moment with friends who have become family.
This past week I hit some major goals. Some I never thought were even possible. I went skating for the first time in six years. For the first time since being told I’d never skate again. I have also had a small part of me not believe the doctors when they say that I mean I did keep my skates on a shelf for all these years. Stepping onto that ice was honestly one of the best moments I have ever experienced. High up there with learning to walk again and again and leaving the hospital.
Now the moral of the story is this. Life is going to happen whether you are ready for it or not. We also only get one life to live so why do anything that doesn’t make you happy. Invest in yourself. Don’t let anyone stop you from living your dreams. If you want to skate then work your butt off and reach those goals. You and only you are in control of what you do. You have to live for yourself and be happy.
Never give up. Strive for greatnesss and greatness is where you will be. When you reach greatness and find happiness with yourself and where you are and where you are going everything else will fall into place. Whether that be relationships or a career or achieving those goals. Just be happy and do you!
I can’t speak for you I can only speak on my experience but I can tell you when you make the mental shift to living a more positive life and loving yourself your dreams come true. I decided to put myself first and the results have been crazy. I skated. I lost 25lbs and 24 inches. I am happier. I have the best girls you could ask for. I have found a place where I belong and feel at home!
So with New Years around the corner decide to love yourself and do something for you. Reach for your goals!
Little #throwbackthursday picture for you. This is how far I have come on pure perserverence determination and the love and support of my family and friends!
Merry Christmas everyone!!
