How are you? I'm fine thanks.
I don't have a lot to say other than I have always been a dreamer in my life. I realised that whenever I would go for my dreams, at the first stumbling block I would see it as a sign from God that it wasn't meant to be and would give up.
Now, with weight loss & putting in the hundreds of hours in the gym, grocery store & fresh produce store I finally am yielding some results. The results didn't come easily. Losing weight is hard for various reasons. Number 1) sometimes you just don't feel like it. Sometimes I just wanna stay in bed & eat KFC, drink wine & have ice cream. Number 2) sometimes life happens. This week, I have been working so hard and long hours that I just didn't have the time to go to the gym. Number 3) saying 'no' to loved ones is hard when they are asking for a favour and this favour cuts into my gym time or meal preparation time. All these points may sound like excuses but I have realised that while losing weight (although it is crucial for me to drop a significant amount of weight) you need balance and cannot live in a bubble and isolate yourself. Balance is crucial.
I am also back to studying so that takes up my weekends. I am feeling cabin fever right now because I want to go out so badly for a glass (or two) of wine with friends but tomorrow I have to be up early to run errands, go to the gym and be rested enough to study.
Yes I know that I made the choice of chasing after my dreams and realising dreams means sacrifice and harmony.
This year is already proving to be challenging. I will make the sacrifices and I WILL win because not realising all that I have dreamed is just not good enough for me. Mediocrity does not become me. I will win. I choose to win.
Lastly, surround yourself with people who support you in the pursuit of your dreams. We are relational beings and need each other to survive. Choose the best to be in your circle.
I leave you with these words: When you choose better, you will know better. And when you know better, you will do better. Always choose better.
