I have been a bit of a hypocrite the
last few months… I have not been following my own mantra of living the “KokoInspired”
life… In fact, I’ve been doing
quite the opposite! And… If we’re being
completely honest, I have been extremely frustrated with myself and my actions
of late. I have to remind myself
that the whole reason I decided to blend two of my favorite things (Koko Fitclub
& Product Red) and created this blog, and by association… creating my
so-called “KokoInspired” lifestyle is because I know that when I live this way
I feel so much happier and healthier!!!
And “happier” and “healthier” are not how I would describe how I am
currently feeling… Again, I have been feeling the exact opposite!! The correlation is clear (at least to
me)… So, I need to stop complaining, stop making excuses and stop feeling sorry
for myself… & just do what makes me HAPPY!!!
I know the old adage… “do what makes you happy,” & It seems so very simple… find out what makes you happy, and then get busy doing it!!!
Well… I can tell you what makes me happy, and feel the best about myself, and life in general. However, what I can’t tell you, and what is the most maddening aspect of this all, is why I continually self-sabotage my very own happiness!!! It’s so very frustrating, and it REALLY needs to stop!!! I need to stop rationalizing my choices and my behaviors… I NEED TO STOP MAKING EXCUSES!!!
So… Once again I find myself in a familiar place,
to fail to finish!!!
I decided to use the race
analogy because this past weekend was the Falmouth Road Race… a race I hoped to complete this year, at which I failed miserably!!!
As race day passed I found myself trying to determine why I always seem to start out so strong… only to give up and quit the race!!! I wish
I could say that I had an epiphany, and
that this time will be different because I found the
answer!!!
Truthfully, I’ve had the answers all along, I have just chosen to ignore them… & I’ve paid the price for that!!!
I know what it takes to succeed… the question is “am I ready and willing to put in the WORK???
