Discipline

So my little journey on no processed foods for thirty days has been successful thus far minus my little excursion to Florida where I wasn't completely faithful but I got right back on the wagon and didn't let that stop me from following through. I am now 11 days away from completing and I have to say I don't know what I will do when it is all said and done, I really like not eating all the junk I consumed before, it has not been easy, it is virtually impossible to go out to eat or to go to a friend's home and be able to eat anything that they have made, if it's got dairy, eggs, meat or anything un-natural or added to preserve then it gets a big X and is not to be consumed.

You might say that is impossible to live by forever or people have said to me they would rather live life and not worry so much about what they are eating, that they don't want restrictions like the ones I am putting on myself, but can I just tell you that a life with no disciple, no real goals, no restriction, no limit on things that could be harmful to yourself, to your health, to your happiness, to your very well-being, is not something that I want to take lightly and just throw it into the wind and say "hmm oh well I'd rather be fat and disease-ridden and be "happy" then put a little discipline and restriction on myself". Uhh I gotta give that a big fat NO THANK YOU.

I think that we spend ourlives just kind of coasting, not wanting to push ourselves too hard or do anything too difficult, I might break a nail or I might just actually get somewhere with my life and be the happiest I have ever been and have everything I could have possibly ever wanted...but hey I don't want to try too hard or anything. The thing is you will never and I mean never, be totally fulfilled, happy, have real joy, reach your full potential, live life how it was meant to be lived until you push yourself, until you set some boundaries for yourself, until you tell yourself no, until you discipline yourself so you can get to where you want to be, who you want to be, who you are.

This is the point, life is way too short to sell yourself short, you absolutley cannot expect to arrive at your final destination without making it happen, you will never just stumble to it or accidentley come across it, or take a stroll and pass it on the street, you have to make it happen, you have to put some elbow grease in it, you have to sweat for it, it's never going to be easy and it wasn't meant to be...afterall how much would you actually feel like you accomplished if it came easy...I mean really.

I hope you can all work really hard and achieve all of your dreams so that they feel worth while. I bid you all a farewell till tomorrow!

Warm Regards,
Candace
