We become what we are committed to. Our choices and actions create our reality. If you want to improve your health you have to stop moving your health goals to the bottom of your priority list. Commit to following the desires of your heart, not only for your health, but in all areas of your life.
Proverbs 16:3 (NKJV)
Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.
Take ownership of your previous choices. We are not always in control of our circumstances but we are in control of our reactions and we must take responsibility for our choices. Choices got you where you are; and your choices will get you where you want to be.
Galatians 6:4 (NLT)
Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.
The life you want is right in front of you. You don’t need to “know it all” or “be ready” before you get started. In order to be truly successful, you have to believe. You wholly create your own future. Step away from feelings of fear and judgement and stop the self-sabotage. Believe in who you were created to be and move into the life you want.
Exodus 15:2 (NLT)
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.
Invest your time and money in experiences that will help you reach your goals. Reading books, learning to understand nutrition labels, hiring an accountability coach, and joining community groups are examples of things you can invest in to get what you want. Invest as much (time and money) as you can into bettering yourself from the inside out. Invest in yourself first, always.
Proverbs 24:27 (ESV)
Prepare your work outside; get everything ready for yourself in the field, and after that build your house.
There are no quick fixes for anything. Consistency is the only thing that will give you long-term, sustainable results. This goes for your business, relationships, and your health. Consistency is the key that will get you what you want but don’t mistake consistency for perfection. (Perfection doesn’t exist!) You don’t have to be perfect, but you do have to be consistent.
1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV)
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
