Taking Risks To Make Dreams Come True

If you asked me three years ago what my goal in life would be, it would be to become a Direct of Human Resources. Sure, there is nothing wrong with that goal, it was very corporate of me. (To say the least...) As time went on, my goals and dreams changed. I am still the same person as I was then, I just see self worth and happiness in a different way.

When I set out to lose weight a little over two years ago, I would have never guessed it would have the impact on my life that it has. Not only have I become happier, healthier, and more self confident, I have also become aware. Through research and trial and error, I have gained awareness of a healthy lifestyle and balance. 

My goal now is to spread this awareness to families, to give women confidence again, to help eliminate childhood obesity, to help those who suffer with eating disorders, and most of all to create a balanced lifestyle for all. 

There's a saying, "you can't have your cake and eat it too." But I am standing here saying why not? You only get one life to live, so have your cake and eat it too. Learn what it is like to experience balance, and achieve overall happiness, while looking and feeling your best!

For a long time I lived for everyone else. I let everything and everyone affect me. I was miserable in so many ways. I could never see the silver lining, the cloud was always entirely black and pouring down on me. I had a lot of self pity, and I wasted a lot of my life in that mindset. 

I decided to start living my life for me, and only worrying about what I thought about myself. I felt that if I was pleased with myself, than I would be happy. I've realized I'm never going to be perfect, but if I was perfect my life would be boring because I would have nothing to improve on. I am my own DIY project that never ends, and I am PROUD of that! 

As I was sitting at my desk at work about to cry, I decided it was time to make a bold move. I took a risk and resigned from my job a few weeks ago. July 11 will be my last day. I've never taken a risk like this, I've always lived by the book, but I can tell you that since I made the decision to leave and chase my dreams, I've never been happier. I am ready to spread awareness and happiness to all, and not through rainbows and butterflies, but through hard life changing work. It's up to you to choose happy. It's up to you to choose healthy. I am hoping you choose both for yourself and let me help you get there. Live for today, for tomorrow, and for many more days to come. 

I've already begun having my cake and eating it too. It's your turn to join me.
