Don't Settle...

As a follow on from last's week post, what have you been putting off due to fear? Are you living boldly? Pushing yourself? Not settling? 

Life is too short to be mediocre. To live small. To not follow your dreams. 

Are you living the same old routine, day in and day out? Get up, go to work, maybe throw a work out in, come home, dinner, bed. Wash, rinse, repeat. 

Does that sound familiar? 

It was me, for far too long. I had just enough energy to go to work, maybe get a work out in, eat dinner, then go to bed. I finally woke up one day and realized that was no way to live. I was tired of living that way. 

I was just plain tired. 

I knew I had to make some changes. And looking back, that's when everything started changing for me. I was unhappy. Unsatisfied. Not even remotely where I wanted to be. 

I was working for someone else. Unfulfilled in a job that wasn't doing much for me, other than paying the bills. I barely had enough energy to do anything other than work, although I still managed to find time to workout and was going to school at the time.

I don't know how I managed to make it all work. But...I do know that I didn't have a life outside of any of that. I didn't even want to leave my house to spend time with friends. It was bad. 

There were a lot of underlying hormonal issues I had to resolve, but I also knew part of it was being so unhappy with what I was doing. My job. My schooling. Where my life was headed. 

I definitely needed the changes. 

It took a few years, a few more schooling opportunities, a few big changes, but I finally got on the path that makes me happy. That will lead me exactly where I want to be. 

Yes...I'm living boldly. I'm no longer settling. I'm taking control of my life, at least the parts I can control! 

What about you? What will be your last straw? What will it take for you to make the changes needed, or wanted, in your life? 

How can I help you make those changes? 

Just remember...live boldly. Push yourself. Don't settle. 

Period. 

Have a beautiful week. 

With love and wellness,
