When Tina and I met many years ago, she soon realized, I didn’t have any close friends. I explained that being a single dad for over 10-years, there was no time for anyone but my children.
My kids gave me power that can’t be explained. I’m sure there are many of you out there who can relate. I loved being their father, plus quickly learned the roll as a mother. I know longer cared about anyone’s thoughts because these are my children and I’m here to not only protect, but raise as respectful people.
Okay, that’s enough about us. Where do you get your power? Can you dig deep within and find strength, or are you weak and need approval from others?
Listen, people really don’t care about anything but themselves. If they talk negative about you or others, then they lack confidence amongst themselves. It’s obvious, weak people put others down.
Now, where are you in life? Are you out there battling the world? People want you to fail, so leave them in your dust. At the end of day, the only thing matters is how you feel about yourself.
What internal power is needed to get your health back? How many hours to you spend in the doctor’s office compared to the gym? How many prescriptions do you take compared to eating healthy? I know those are hard questions, but someone needs to call it out.
We all know our bad habits and destructive behavior. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not casting stones because there is a time to reap the rewards of good old country cooking, and a few cocktails.
As you all know, Tina and I practically live in our gym and keep a healthy diet. But, when on vacation, there is nothing healthy about it.
We always crack up when registering at the front desk of a resort. The clerk looks us up and down, then informs that the gym is located on the third floor. Our reply is we don’t want to see a gym, so can you direct us to the bar.
Okay now, this is your day to decide what power to pull from. Why can’t today be a life changer? What’s holding you back? Everything about your life is your decision. Your stronger than ever imagined, so get up and do something about it.
