Cherish Your Vision


Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. -Napoleon Hill

We all have a vision of what we would like our lives to look like. I am not talking about what you think about if you hit the multimillion-dollar lottery ticket. We of course have those as well. The lavish, even materialistic lifestyle we imagine when we allow ourselves to take a break from the everyday. I am talking about what we think about when we imagine a better life for our family, a better living situation, a better job, or even a better relationship with someone. Those visions are important. 

I want to implore you not to toss them aside but to make a plan. What would it take to make that vision a reality? Break it down into small, attainable steps. Make it realistic for where you are in life. You are worth the effort. I am not saying it is going to be easy by any means. It will require hard work from you, but it is work that is worth it. It is work that feeds your soul.

I don't say all this is some vacuum of achievement as though I am some guru that has accomplished all of my wildest desires. This message is for me as well. I have a vision that I am constantly regrouping and working towards. When I am not working on it, I feel regular. I am grinding on that hamster wheel just like you. However, when I am making moves and doing things to get me closer to my vision, I feel invigorated even if I have not accomplished it. The act of working towards it gives me a sense of forward motion. 

This forward motion will help you with feelings of loneliness, stress, and fulfillment. It is not of course a cure-all but it is about baby steps in this journey of life. I know it is completely cliche to say enjoy the journey but life is the journey. The final destination is when you stop living, whether physically in death or mentally in spirit. Do not waste the journey. Savor it. Work it. Revel in it. Enjoy it. We only take one trip and you are worth all the effort required to make it one hell of a ride.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons.
