DO YOU FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND FEEL FULFILLED? Reflection from this weekend.
This weekend was truly like no other.
They say to surround yourself with engines. Not anchors. People that lift you up, stretch you, cast vision for you and fuel the fire in your inner belly to live the most fulfilling and successful life as possible.
The problem Kristen and I had years ago (which we didn’t even know was a problem) was we were in the daily routine of life. Get up, drive to work, work 8 hours, drive home, deal with the kids, watch tv, go to bed and REPEAT.
It wasn’t that we didn’t enjoy what we did or make a good salary because Kristen loved teaching kids and I still do love working with the State Police. I am grateful for that.
But what we didn’t have is that sense of joy, fire, excitement, significance, impact, sense of greater purpose and the sense to achieve the most in life.
To wake up excited for life. To make an impact and understand that success comes from sense of fulfillment. Money doesn’t bring long term happiness but feeling fulfilled to the highest level in what you do does. “Things” we buy with money only feel good for a short amount of time. It’s temporary.
Kristen has been home now for almost two years as a full time Beachbody Coach after being able to retire her last year from her teaching job. But as with any business or in life in general we all have ups and downs. We all have struggles. We are human and with that comes tough times as any human does.
But the key is to do something you absolutely love. Then surround yourself with those that are much more successful than you who will stretch you in ways you wouldn’t see yourself.
When you do something you love you will be unstoppable. You will put in a level of work that money can’t buy.
Over the past few weeks Kristen and I have spent some long quality time with people like Saudi Almonte, Micki Fernandez, Scottie and Gabby Sanabria Hobbs. These 4 amazing people have opened our eyes to another level of excitement, energy and passion we never knew we had. They are our engines. Words cannot express how grateful we are of these people.
We are ready to work towards even greater things in this journey we call life. We live each day to help people, inspire people to take action, get out of their routine and also experience fire and passion.
For us the vehicle to do that is Beachbody. It’s not just a business. Its not just a fitness company. It’s what has completely changed our life, connected us to some of the most amazing people and opened our eyes to a future we didn’t once see.
I ask you. Are you in the “routine” of life. Are you just waking up trying to survive until “Friday” or your next “vacation.” It doesn’t need to be like that. But you must be willing to open your eyes to understand this. To take the leap of faith. To know there is more and you are deserving of it. I believe in you. You too can make a difference and be significant. But you and you alone must take the first step.
