Wow. Doesn’t the idea in the quote totally push you to think?
“I could have been amazing… I could have had more impactful days, full of love and positive energy… I could have….”
What areas of your life does this apply to? Your health?
“I could have been magnificent… optimizing my physical and mental health… but I didn’t like the discomfort of pushing myself… I was afraid my body couldn’t handle it.”
What about your tribe and your relationships?
“I could have made that call to repair that relationship… but I was afraid it would end up bad.”
Your finances?
“I could have made time to plan… meet with advisors that have experience on the topic… but I thought those professionals were only for people with more money than I have.”
This goes on. Our minds have this powerful ability to create pathways of fear that stop us from living our best lives. They may seem to be meaningless or fleeting thoughts, yet they creep in and somehow stop us from:
- Increasing that work out routine and feeling ever more energy and vibrancy
- Allowing ourselves to be truly happy in a relationship
- Making that appointment to ensure our financial world will allow us to retire at some realistic point
This is a crazy powerful message. Let’s hold each other accountable to not allowing fear to impact our lives. I fully believe god intended us to thrive so that we can help those around us do the same. We are only better together if we are healthy ourselves!
