Don’t let anyone choose for you.

Lately I’ve been in this space and I’m going to see where it takes me. Subconsciously, I am choosing to believe and think the best. When my thoughts try to sway towards the negative, I quickly do an act of inspiration. I run to God. I put on a podcast that is discussing how to bring a better tomorrow or how to continue with a healthy habit as opposed to giving up. When I get scared or lack faith, I run to God. I don’t let anyone chose for me and that is my power. My power lies in no one but God. God is who gives me my strength and faith.

He is what allows for contrast in my life. Success wouldn’t be as prevalent or impactful without the unsuccess. The good days wouldn’t be as meaningful without the bad days. So I’m here to say don’t let anyone chose for you. Decide what you want in this life and work day in and day out. Don’t make it more difficult than it needs to be. Use the power of manifestation and knowing God already has a plethora of good things for you if you choose to believe it.

So as we go into the warmer months, use this time to build. Use the extra sunlight to be inspired and put that inspiration to work. Don’t give up on yourself because you don’t see the fruit of your labor. It is when you don’t see results that you must keep going. This is what builds you up, this is what makes success so much more significant. This is why when you accomplish something and succeed at something, you cry or are filled with awe, because you know you prevailed through strife. You beat the hard days and continue to do so.

I listened to this podcast recently and truly it has pushed me beyond measure. James Clear is an impactful writer as we all know, he wrote Atomic Habits and talks about how just being 1% better each day will result in a completely changed better life. It’s in the act of doing something small and uphill each day that results in huge success. When they say overnight success, this is what they mean.. “All overnight success takes about 10 years” - Jeff Bezos. So in that case, keep going and don’t let anyone choose for you. If you can think it, you can become it. If you envision it, it’s because it’s for you. But you have to put in the work behind it and have such a strong belief in yourself and your vision that no one can choose for you.

The podcast is The High Performance Podcast with Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes and it’s episode 180 with James Clear: What you need to do today, to change your tomorrow.”

Here are a few affirmations I’ve been repeating and honestly it’s been helping me on my worse days and to get out of a slump. Remember everyday won’t be inspiring, we are human, bad days are inevitable but your life is in your hands. Use negativity to learn more about yourself and your desires. It will take you far.

Affirmations:

I know God has something so good for me and I refuse to believe and accept anything else.

I choose to feel and get excited even when the odds are against me.

I am excited and joyous about what God is doing in my life. I choose to trust God.

Until next time,
