America isn’t struggling because people don’t care — it’s because the system is broken.
Over 60% of Americans are dealing with at least one chronic condition, prescription use is at an all-time high, and nearly 70% are overweight or sick.
And even when people try, 90% gain the weight back.
That’s not a motivation problem — that’s a strategy problem.
You see, after coaching over 5,000 moms, dads, busy professionals and athletes over the years....I've found ONE common problem that makes it HARD for them all to consistently show up.
They BEGIN a "journey" for the wrong reasons.
Let me explain.
If you choose to get your health in check, the reason mostly falls under the categories:
1. A special event, sport, trip
2. A person or people you want to be better for
3. A challenge and "prove it to yourself" type of manner (Okay, 75 HARD)
4. A deal (Everyone likes saving money)
5. A FORCED way in(doctors or health concerns)
6. TIRED of your situation -- READY to stop being lazy
GREAT, now that we got this out of the way, let's look at why all of them never are what will keep you focused...
You missed the deeper rooted work on YOUR SELF first.
A person living in fear of himself will be at life's disposal for others as he tries to elevate.
Fear? You ask....MIKE IM NOT SCARED!
I get it, you're tough as nails, but you are scared of a few things:
1. Not being attractive
2. Not being "worthy" of someone you appreciate
3. RELYING on others to build your power and confidence(I was there) --NEEDING validation of yourself because you dont have the ways to build it within yourself.
So what do I mean?
All those things above are GREAT for wanting to change your health, no one is denying it.
But the truth of the matter is that you are living in fear of yourself and NOT loving WHO YOU ARE enough to change and make a lasting impact.
Ask yourself this....
1. Have you ever felt rejected when your spouse isn't commenting on your appearance
2. Ever feel under-appreciated at work or home when you do things you feel should stand out
3. Wanted your media post to get likes, attention and views and when it doesn't it makes your day worse
4. Your gifting, donations or comments made to you run DEEP into your ego and burry you(I struggle here)
Any of these are signs that your success long term in a health "program" you try for 30 days WON'T work.
You are not working on the TRUE things that need changed.
When you realize you need no one else's approval because YOU LOVE YOU and YOU DO YOU for YOU'RE BEST SELF to show....the world changes.
THe days I remember what makes me feel HAPPIEST are the ones I don't let others rule my emotions or my circumstances.
I know it's hard, I get that.
But I DO need to be real with you guys sometimes and the wrecking ball of many is the inability to love ones self ENOUGH to want to do the right things without public display.
What you do in private gets put on display in public.
If you are struggling to FIND your inner love to want to work on YOU for the sake of YOU....then you will see what I mean....
ALL those things up top become byproducts of your success, but NOT the main reason you are changing.
SO WHEN THE HURRICANES COME(life hits and choas) -----
IT WILL COME!!!!
YOUR house (your mindset), stays strong and unbreakable....
That is what creates an ultimate transformation.
Loving yourself enough to want to do GOOD for you, not the world or your family even.
You can't let the ways you get confidence BE FROM THOSE AROUND YOU.
I've learned this living in isolation, being divorced, and having to fend for myself and battle with myself for 3+ years now.
You get your life you want from being STRONG about who you are and what you deserve.
So everyone needing "permission" to work on yourself ---- That's the starting place for many.
You chose the life you live.
God gives us a short time on this earth, and you can use it by coasting and saying you "will someday" or it will get better or wait for your spouse to be on board....
Or you can realize the birth pains are here and you have a decision to make to GET where you want.
I pray this helps and gives you that.
Take a read of Mark 13:33-34 ---- Are you investing the same time in preparing for Jesus to return? Do you waste time on things he knows you can control?
Preparation leads to deliverance of FREEDOM.
I hope you begin preparing for a better future ahead so results of your hard work are finally cultivated into something uniquely special.
