Don't Forget About You!

Hey Guys (and Gals), I know it's been a while since my last post, but I have been taking time to gauge where I am in life. I speak prosperity, motivation, stretching yourself, and pushing your personal limits to many people; however, I hadn't been speaking them to MYSELF. At a point I thought maybe that was selfish, but as I progressed in life, I found myself pouring so much into others, that I forgot about ME. I would become so emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained that all I could do was lie down and go to sleep. After a while, I began to realize that, yes, God has given you a gift, but in order to benefit from the gift, I must utilize it for me as well. Now, by no means do I speak of a state of depression or anything with a negative connotation. Just like a car must be maintenanced, so must we! I began to make more time for me. I read more. I meditated more. I wrote out my personal vision. I sought people who would pour into me. I eliminated time spent with persons who were not adding value to my life. I paid more attention to family. I gave my all to God.

Needless to say, things rapidly began to change. I have a different outlook now. I am still as motivated as ever, but now I have more of an inner peace. Nothing phases me too much. I realize I cannot save everyone, but the one's lives that I do touch will be GREATLY changed. I am no one special. I simply sought out God's purpose for my life, and I actively seek to fulfill it every day. YOU have the same opportunity!
