The past few months I have stepped into the amusement park, purchased tickets for the most challenging roller coaster rides, and I have spent most days just holding on and trying to have fun, even when the bumps made me a bit nauseous. I have always thought there was a reason for everything. If I didn't take this approach, then I would be even more confused than I am when life throws some punches at me when I have no idea where they have come from. I have needed to know that everything that has been happening is in my life to teach, to change, and to challenge me. If not, then I would be devoid of hope and purpose, and without these one could become loss and discouraged.
When on this roller coaster ride, I have decided to not sit back anymore. Instead, at some of the turns I dare to let go for a few. I have committed to take control! I don't just want to go through my life and wish anymore. "Successful people replace the words wish, should and try with I will." Here's what I have discovered about myself when I purchased the ticket to the amusement park.
1. My needs and wants matter and will be valued.
2. It is important to me to not work every hour of the day and week.
3. My dreams are my soul, and they will come true.
4. I LOVE FITNESS MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY AND JUST WANT TO BE IN IT - EAT, SLEEP AND BREATH IT.
5. I need more than one vacation a year.
6. I am strong...but I do need to cry and let it out not wait for the day it just begins overflowing.
7. I truly miss SUNSHINE and will become creative when outdoors in order to enjoy it but not be hurt by it.
8. I have the tendency to make people's days.
9. Friends are fundamental in life.
10. Chocolate is the best anti-inflammatory.
We all have our own version of an Amusement park and those roller coaster rides. Yes, hold on at times but dare to let go, hold your hands in the air, and scream on the top of your lungs.
What does not kill you will make you stronger.......
