Growing Stronger and Living Longer!

I recently changed the title of this blog to:

Growing Stronger and Living Longer!

It better represents the journey I have been travelling over the past year and a half!   When I decided to say yes to the nutrition system, I had NO IDEA that it would be life changing.  As I have documented in past blogs, I just wanted to give it a try to see if I could lose the spare tire around my waist!   That occurred in the first 16 weeks….

So you might be wondering, what the heck have I been doing for the past year and a half then?

I have been growing, working on personal development, and learning how I can inspire others to step outside of their comfort zone, live life and reach their full potential!

My problem was fear!  In fact, I was living most of my life in fear.  I kept doing the same things I always did day by day, week by week, month by month.   Playing it safe and staying in my comfort zone.  In some ways, life itself had become mundane almost to the point of boredom.  Maybe that is what they mean by "settling down" as it is so often referred to for people in their late 20's or 30's.  Of course, there were many high lights, and wonderful memories I would never trade like getting married and having children!  However, I was not growing as a person, my outward appearance was growing older, but inwardly I had stopped growing.   I had long forgotten my dreams, and my true purpose in life still seemed like something I would never discover.

The reason I had never discovered my purpose was because I had stopped looking!

Then an opportunity was presented to me that was based on a simple concept.  A concept so simple but yet so powerful it compelled me to take a closer look.   Anyone that knows me knows I am a numbers guy, and I instantly recognized the potential of the opportunity.  It compelled me to step outside of my comfort zone just a little bit.  It was scary but I did it, and boy was it exciting!  If I could take the first step, that means I could take a second step, and maybe a 3rd, and fourth.  What could my life look like?

So I took another step, I shared the system with some close family and friends and the results were amazing!  That compelled me to step further away from my comfort zone and start sharing with everyone I know.   Then amazing things started to happen.  People I had shared the system with also began to change.  Some changed quickly, some changed slowly, some have still not reached their initial goal, and some decided it was not for them.

Embrace life and Live!

The point is, we are ALL on a journey.  The important thing is to

KEEP TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 

This journey has inspired me to realize there is so much more I can achieve in this life, and I do not want to do it alone.  I have learned that my purpose in life is to inspire people to seek out their true potential and live life with all the passion, joy and love they have been given!!

The greatest thing I have learned is that it is okay to be me.  I am a masterpiece of creation, created by the architect of the universe and so is every other person on this planet!  So lets all begin working to help each other grow stronger and live longer!
