A Week of Inspiration

For the past week I've been unsure of what to post for my blog. I've had so many thoughts flowing through my head due to last weeks annual Coach Summit where over 9,000 Team Beachbody coaches took off to Las Vegas Nevada. With all their posts flooding my Facebook news feed as well, as their videos of all the amazing happenings saying I was inspired doesn't even begin to explain it. My heart was so full seeing the positivity coming from all these people. People that I only know through meetings here on Facebook in private groups or through zoom calls in my coaching class I took. We've spoken through messenger and through commenting on each others pictures so it boggles my mind when I think of how these people have truly changed my life in a few short months when I've not met them in person, and I'm still getting to know them. With so much going through my head it's been hard to get a clear thought of what I wanted to share with all of you...but when I finally took a step back the other day and was talking to a coworker of mine that recently became a coach on my team it all came together. I had that "aha" moment as Oprah Winfrey likes to call it. (I think she probably trade marked that phrase). As I was telling her about all the videos I've watched, posts I've read, articles, and blog posts that have recently crossed my path all of them have had one incredible thing in common. They've all in one way or another encompassed one core theme. GOD. It's funny how he'll creep into our lives when we don't expect it. His lessons always seem to find a way to pop up. It's his little way of saying "I'm still here" or "I'm a part of your life and you'll always have me guiding you." For the past few weeks I've noticed more and more those people that are at the top of this business have stated time and time again that GOD has made a huge impact on their life. He's guided them to this business and to helping them make a difference in the lives of others. So for today's post I want to reflect on this. I want to share with you how I've found that GOD is always there guiding me in my path in life and how he's led me to where I am today. This is not something that I've always felt comfortable sharing with others, however I've heard time and time again over the past week how the only way we can grow and be successful in our life is by being uncomfortable. When we are sitting still, are comfortable, and stagnant we're not growing, we're not moving forward, and we're not achieving ultimate success. So I'm opening up today with you, and letting you inside a little, and sharing with you how GOD has led me here.

Since a young child I've always felt that when I "grew up" I would help people. That I would make a difference in the lives of others. That's always been deep down in my core and what I've truly wanted to do with my life. I've gone into teaching because I've wanted to make a difference in the lives of children, but for some reason it's not quite been enough. I decided two years ago to go back to school to get my Master's Degree and become certified in the State of New Hampshire so I could eventually work with student's with special needs because I want to help make a difference in their lives. Yet there was this nagging feeling that it's still not 100% where I should be. I've felt for a long time that I've been pulled in numerous directions. That my heart and soul is telling me that I'm meant for bigger things, but that as a mother I want to be home and want to spend time with my two amazing little boys that the Lord has blessed me with. I don't want to constantly be away from the working to just get by. As we all know in today's society so many people are working jobs where they have to be away from their family and spend less and less time "living life". Then that's where GOD comes in. I have always had my faith, and my strong belief that GOD will guide me to where I am meant to be. He has never let me down. In tough times he's always managed to get us through and he's watched over us when we've struggled. When a sorority sister of mine posted about Shakeology it opened a whole new world for me. I believe that day GOD reconnected us and brought us together to change my life. 

When I sit back and look at my life and look at the connections I've made with people it is truly mind blowing. People come into your life for many reasons, but I believe that we are all connected. I believe that each person is there to teach you something or to direct you down a new road to turn your life in a new direction. You just have to keep your mind open to the new opportunities that are being placed in front of you and trust in GOD that it will all be okay. I'm so thankful for that day that our Lord brought my friend back into my life, because as I look ahead I can see all the amazing possibilities that it offers. I know it's the right place to be because I can feel it in my gut in ways I've never felt before. I see the incredible changes that are happening for my friends and family. They are happier, healthier, and stronger then they've ever been. When I sit back and see the positivity, encouragement, support, and friendships that are given to others through Team Beachbody it is like no other company I've ever worked for. But what I've enjoyed most, and I feel is helping me grow more in my faith is the faith and trust I've seen people have in GOD. That he's guided them to this business where they are able to help others change their lives for the better. Where they are supporting and encouraging one another to reach their goals and dreams and to Never Give Up on their faith or their belief that they can live a happier, healthier lifestyle. I believe that I've been brought to where I am today for many reasons. I believe I'm here to strengthen my belief in GOD and to make my trust and faith in him a bigger part of my life. To not be afraid to talk about him or my beliefs with others because that is okay. I also believe that I've been brought here to help others reach their goals and dreams and to feel better about who they are and be comfortable and confident in their own skin. I am here because it is an opportunity that is going to help me live the life I want to live. It's going to allow me to spend more time with my husband and my children. It's going to allow me to finish my degree and help create more opportunities for special education in early childhood programs. It's going to allow me to have the financial freedom my husband and I have always wanted through a job that I truly and deeply love. I've always had Big Dreams but was never sure how I was going to achieve them. But today. Today I sit here writing this blog post with the utmost confidence that I now know how I'm going to make my dreams for my family come true. I have this strong faith and confidence because I've prayed so many times to GOD to guide me in that direction and I know now that he truly has. He's provided me the opportunity to not only give myself the life I want for my family, but to show other people that they too can make their Dreams and Goals come true. Next year I will stand on that stage at the Coach Summit in Nashville Tennessee with thousands of other coaches and not only have changed my life, but the lives of my family and friends. GOD BLESS <3
