Don’t Give Up On Your Goals Just Yet!

And just like that, it’s the end of June. I’m not sure how, but this year seems to be flying by right before our very eyes. If you’re like me, you set goals for yourself about what you wanted to complete before the year ended. But if you’re also like me, you haven’t necessarily seen the results you expected. It can be demoralizing when you aren’t achieving your goals in the timeframe you desire, especially when you feel like you’ve given it your all. You may even be tempted to scrap your goals and plans altogether. But fear not - I’m here to help you understand that it’s not too late to reach those goals, and what steps you can take to make them a reality.

If Your Temple Cracks, Everything Else Will Crumble

“I don’t have time to do it.” “I’ll get to it later.” “My career (or education) comes first.” “I’m too busy.” ‘I’ll be (or I am) fine.” These are some of the excuses people give for not taking care of themselves, and/or not prioritizing their own health over other areas in their lives. I get it – there’s sooooo much we need to get done in any given day, and we feel like doing anything outside of those tasks will put us behind schedule, derail our progress, or set us too far behind. The main reason being is that we don’t see, or understand, the importance of making ourselves not just a priority, but THE priority.

Change Now, Reap Later

“New year, new me,” but you’re still doing the same things from 2018. “I’m starting the business this year,” but you’re still hanging around your demotivated friends. “Oh, I am definitely going to start this diet,” but you’re still hitting McDonalds for that 2 for $5 Fish Filet. “I’m over them and won’t give them another chance,” but you’re still sending them “wyd” texts when you get lonely. “I won’t cheat on you again,” but you’re still responding to those late night “you up?” texts and still answering DMs on social media. “I’m going to value myself and my body,” but you’re still posting thirst traps.” “I’m going to change Lord,” but you’re still living the same life as non-believers. “God, I’m going to follow your plan and go where you lead me,” but you’re still trying to make your own dreams happen.
