It is so easy to lay with the pigs rather than run with the giants.

These past 3 weeks have been extremely hard on me. I felt defeated and I let myself go. One thing you can count on is that life will try to get you down. Nothing ever goes as planned. I so often let life take me down with it, when I have the power to rise above. It is so easy to lay with the pigs rather than run with the giants. I am sad to say that it took life getting better for me to realize I quit to easily. You see I want to do so many things in my life. I want to be a successful business woman, a published author, an inspiration to women and moms, an amazing wife, an amazing mother, a loyal child of God, and much more! Some days it all seems to much because I look at it right now in a day and say I cannot do all of that. But the great thing about life is that you don't have to do it all right now. We do have time and if we don't I really don't think I will regret never writing a book if I truly did not have time.

I want to take on my dream! I am going to start doing that. I have always wanted to write a cookbook. I learned very early on that I was awful at following a recipe because I always knew how to make the dish taste better. I want to share my recipes with the rest of the world! So I am going to take a leap of faith and write a recipe book. It is scary and there is a reality that no one may buy it. But I cannot control what others do; I can only control what I do. I have decided to make the most out of life!

I want to encourage you women to do the same. I know you have a lot on your plate with raising kids(and husbands), being a house wife, working, and trying to chase your dreams. I swear some days I don't even have time to eat a decent meal. Or some days I get to lunch and realize I haven't even brushed my hair! It is a lot. Then you add on top of all of that the curve balls life throws your way. Things like death, job loss, having to move, loss of income, or illness all can bring you down. It is hard. I will never lie to you and tell you it isn't. But I will tell you this; God gave you that dream, those ideas, and those visions for a reason. He gave them to you and you alone! You have a obligation to the world to follow through with them. I cannot tell you how much fulfillment you will get from chasing those dreams. It may be hard work and take long hours but it will give you blessings like no other.

I used to limit myself by thinking the only way I could make it was by working a 9-5 job and then limiting myself by thinking the only way to be successful was to be a Beachbody Coach. I was so wrong! Both of those can be amazing tools. I think that no one thing is the answer(besides Jesus). I think that MLMs, jobs, and any other opportunity is a tool and a gift that you can use to bless your life and follow your dream. I will never tell you that Beachbody or your 9-5 or bartending at night is a bad or good choice for you because that is all up to YOU! We get to choose our own future and it could include hundreds of things. No longer are we in a world where you choose a job at 18 and stick with it till your 60. You can grow and change!

So today I urge you to take those ideas, dreams, and visions God has given you and share them with the world. Maybe you can't do it right now but put the seeds in place so that you can start acting on those dreams. You can do it all sweet one; if those ideas are truly from the Lord. He will never give you more than you can handle when he is on your side.
