Hello everyone! … at least I hope I can say “everyone”. I have to admit I am a little nervous as this is my very first blog post and there is a good possibility the only one reading is my mom (Hi Mom! Thanks for always being my #1 fan!).
Publishing this blog is the first step of a journey I am thrilled to begin. By taking risks and being vulnerable, my hope is to connect with an audience that is going through similar struggles. I want to create a safe space where people can embrace the opportunity for self-growth without feeling judged for the progress they have not yet made.
I woke up one morning and decided that I could not keep repeating the same patterns that no longer served me. It’s time for me to take control of my life and strive for more.
No one wakes up one day and is magically fulfilled. Creating a life you are proud of takes hard work, perseverance, and an incredible amount of patience. This journey is not only about becoming physically healthy. The overall goal here is to learn to love ourselves where we are in the present moment, and respect ourselves enough to strive for improvement. In the wise words of Adam Braverman (if you know you know), “Life will knock you down more times than you can possibly imagine. Don’t knock yourself down.”
And quickly, before you @ me on social media, No One Wakes Up Like That is not a dig at the one and only Queen B. Beyoncé is and always will be the GOAT. I am grateful to simply exist on her internet. However, while I don’t know her personally (yet), I can almost guarantee she would be the first one to tell you she did not make to the top without putting in countless hours of hard work.
So here we go. We start right now. Our only competition is the person we were yesterday. Together we will achieve our goals and move one step closer to reaching our full potential. Because no one wakes up like that…until they do.
