POWER
I was talking to a friend yesterday about his Why. He had a good one. He didn’t want to be fat like his pops. He looked down the road into his future and he saw that if he kept going on that path, his future self was going to be sick, tired, broken down and he didn’t want that life. Every time the devil tried to tempt him, “this is too hard” or “just eat that cookie” or “you don’t need to go to the gym today” then he could picture his dad saying “why try so hard for this fitness thing, just be fat like your pops” and he realize the pain of making that choice and it would give him the Power to choose differently and choose the gym.
He developed a consistency that has given him amazing results. Because of his why.
What is it for you? What’s your pain, what’s your future self look like that if you became that dude or that girl, you would say oh hell naw that ain’t me! What triggers you so that you can write it down and keep it somewhere to read often. Keep it fresh is your mind. Because as soon as you forget, that’s when it doesn’t seem so bad to just take it easy today, just hit the snooze button… and that’s how simple it is to get going down that path to be fat like your pops.
I’m excited because talking about it with my friend Rob got me thinking about my why and I will share that with you tomorrow.
Have an amazing day. I love y’all.

“Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.”
