Short Term Pain Long Term Gain

Man I’m in such a space of gratitude these days. I’ve been blessed to be on this earth for 28 years now as of April 18th. I’m approaching my one year marriage anniversary, my baby girl is turning one month and my son is starting a sport he really loves…. Soccer.

Year 27 was full of some huge blessings I never saw coming….. I mean God was showing out BIG TIME! Even in the midst of growing pains, trials and tribulations his grace covered me.

At the start of 2021 I was met with some eye opening events that quickly spiraled and altered my reality. One thing I’ve learned from my life coach, that has helped in many tough situations, is to focus on things that are in my control. I began reflecting on ways to better my reality and the person I needed to be to birth a new reality.

I got real raw with myself.

What about YOU is hindering you?

What things can you do to combat these shortcomings?

One thing I noticed is I lacked commitment, consistency and I had a lot of fear.

I told myself by my next birthday I really want to level up because it’ll trickle down to other area’s in my life leveling up.

I decided I’d apply pressure to myself….. So I joined an accountability group. Now I’m apart of a community that holds me accountable to the things I said I was going to do. I organized the things I’d like to do and started giving everything deadlines.

I made my mind up.

Year 28 I’m showing up for myself. I will get IT done!

I will do it no matter if I’m fearful.

I will do it and make no excuses.

I will do it because I promised myself I would.

I’m determined to not be in my own way.

I’ve named Chapter 28 my season of short term pain long term gain.

I hope this challenges some of you to show up for yourself and pull your goals off the back burner.
