Real People… Real Faith

If you were sick of feeling fat and out of shape, and the only time you could get to the gym were at 5 AM on freezing winter mornings when you were all snuggly in bed….would you go? If you made the decision that you were going to reach your goals, you would do whatever it took. If you merely wanted to, but had not made the firm decision to, you would roll over and begin convincing yourself that your life is fine just the way it is.

So often, we say we have made a decision when what we have really done is signed up to try until it gets too uncomfortable. If you have not made that strong, firm commitment, then, the moment it gets hard or expensive or puts you at risk of looking silly, you will probably quit. Indecision is the pathway to being stuck within the boundaries of what is safe and familiar. If you are going to push through major obstacles to reach your goals, you can’t just want to; you need to be completely committed. You need to have the audacity to be honest about what you want, do what is necessary to attain it, believe it is available regardless of any evidence otherwise, and go for it!

In order to start living your life in a way that you have never lived before, your faith in what is possible must be greater than your fear. However easy or rough the process, you have to be willing to fall down, get up, look stupid, cry, laugh, make a mess, clean it up and not stop until you get there…no matter what! There will be plenty of times when you get a brilliant idea and it temporarily fails or pushes you into uncomfortable territory. It is at that very moment when you must make the decision to proceed to succeed.
