I've Made More Money Than Ever Before.... But.. It's not all it's cracked up to be!
Health is everything. My whole life used to be centered around feeling the best I possibly could. I was intentional with the food I put in my body, the workouts I did, and my attitude. I could sleep 5-6 hours a night and wake up full of energy. I put all of that completely on the back burner to sacrifice for my family. I focused solely on working and becoming the best realtor I possibly could. In case you aren't aware, it's not the easiest gig in the world... lol
Fast forward to this year. I've had way more "success" than any year prior. But, I experienced way more stress and an overall lower quality of life despite reaching goals in my career. Despite making more money, I was not happier. I stopped waking up early excited for the day. I rolled out of bed when I had to, with no energy, and no enthusiasm. I had stopped growing. Growth creates happiness.
Two and a half weeks ago I decided it wasn't worth it. I got back in the gym... although it was a huge hit to my ego after not working out consistently in 4 years. I began to be more intentional with my diet. I started using the Arbonne supplements to speed up the journey. We didn't necessarily eat bad by any means. But, we were using our crazy and busy life as an excuse to eat things we know are not conducive to a healthy life.
I instantly started to feel better. The growth and challenge of starting from the ground up to recreate myself gave me purpose and passion. The endorphins released affect all other areas of life as well!
I implore you, if you feel stuck or unsatisfied, working on yourself will bring you more happiness than anything else in life.
And, if you need an accountability partner lets do it. I love helping people. We all need people to be there with us and push us when needed. It makes the difficult journey that much easier when you have people striving to reach similar goals. Reach out and let's get to work!
Just some thoughts before the holidays. You better believe I'm stuffing my face on Thanksgiving though...
