How can becoming healthy
have an impact on your life, your surroundings, your mental attitude, your
propensity and your friends?
As an experiment of one
(talking about me here) and interacting with others around me, I have realized
that regaining control of your health, getting to a healthy weight, and
improving your life can change where you are in your life. It also
changes your outlook, confidence, and desire to do more!
For me, since I began this
journey five years ago, I have seen many personal changes. I feel so much better! I do not get sick, I have
tons of energy, and my attitude is much more positive.
As a part of this journey, I changed where I was working, as the company I was
with at that time did not support my values. In my new position, I have had more success than any previous job. After three years, I was promoted to lead a team
to do what I successfully had developed. I have a positive impact on my
coworkers, customers, and partners and as a result, my prosperity has gone up
and I am happier.
I have also noticed that my
circle of friends has changed.
I tend to associate more
with other like-minded people who are more interested in health, wellness, and
running/training.
Our values and attitude
attract others that feel the same way as we do. This has been a blessing as it
helps support my journey.
Never did I envision I would
be asked to speak about health and fitness; now I talk to people every week
about it. I have met and formed social circles with some well-known
leaders in the health community. So many others in this same circle of friends and
acquaintances have also inspired me.
My overall outlook on life
is better. I firmly believe I can live past 100! I also believe there is nothing I can't do in
life as long as I focus on it. Many of the old barriers (usually of my own
making) have vanished.
Since I am only halfway
through my life, I know there will be many opportunities to do crazy, unique,
and fun things.
I want to fill my cup until
it overflows with chances to do more than I ever dreamt.
In the end, I believe that
changing your life in a positive way will make you a happier, healthier person. In life we become what we surround ourselves with
- whether it is our friends, how we treat ourselves, how positive we are, what
our outlook is....it is up to us to decide what kind of life we want to live. I thank God every day that I made the choice to
change!
Do
you want to change?
Then do it! Quit putting it
off!
Change
your life right now!!!
