I'm going to be straight-forward with all of you...

I'm getting slightly frustrated with the fact that people are putting their dreams/goals/aspirations/health on the sidelines because they are "too busy" to pursue all that they want to accomplish. When I hear people say that they are too tired or too busy I can definitely relate because I live a VERY busy life, but at the same time I want to slap some sense into these people and say "Stop with the excuses and start LIVING". We have ONE shot to accomplish all that we are here to accomplish...Literally...One shot. Although we're only on this Earth for a short amount of time, it is enough time to accomplish SO many things and make a huge difference in the lives of people around us.

Most of you know this already, but I am VERY busy. For the past two years I have left my house at 4:00am and gotten home around 8:00pm M-F.

Why? I do this so that I can do AM cardio, work my job, take a full course load at UW Bothell, lift weights and get myself one step closer to achieving my goals and dreams.

Does it get tiring? Yes.

Absolutely exhausting at times? Heck yes.

Do I sometimes consider myself crazy? YES!

But I put it all into perspective: What would my life be like if I took the easy route and didn't pursue all the wonderful things I'm meant to accomplish? My life would be boring...lacking purpose..I'd simply be going through the motions and there's no way I'm going to live my life like that.

So what do I do? I step it up...I kick it up a notch and remind myself that I HAVE to reach my goals...no matter what it takes, I WILL get there and if this means I struggle along the way, great. Struggle is good. It stretches me...it pushes me to become a better and stronger person and I will NEVER regret that struggle...I'll never regret the exhausting days when all I want to do is go home and crash, but instead I push forward and accomplish my daily tasks.

What I will regret is NOT doing all that I can to live a strong and healthy life the way God desires me to live.

So that's my thought for the day...

It's been on my heart to write about this because I've encountered so many people lately who "want to get in shape, but don't have the time" or "want to compete, but can't make it work with their schedule"...you know, people who WANT to achieve certain things, yet "can't" find the time or energy to make it happen. It actually hurts me when I see people going through life like this because I KNOW that if they would just soldier up...be strong...be fierce and push through, they would be SOOOO happy that they did. They will reach their goals and think "WOW! I really did it" and that is truly the best feeling in the world.

I urge all of you to make it work...I don't care what your schedule is like (well I do care...but you know what I mean :) ), I KNOW that you can make it work if you want it bad enough. It will be tough, but you'll never regret pushing yourself to your limits to achieve something great.

So that's it for today. I'm off to push through another amazing day of opportunity. Training Hard...Staying Focused.

Stay Strong. Stay Focused. Let the Lord's Light SHINE!
