Journey From Being Lost to a Dream Chaser
(To see part 2 of my Insanity Max 30 journey, go here. To be the first to get info on the release of Insanity Max 30, go here.) For years, I was lost. I’d just lost my way. I was in a monotonous cycle of boringness. I knew my life was meant for more so I regularly beat myself up wondering what the heck had happened. Where had I gone wrong? Why was this my life now? How did I end up here? How could I change it? I was so confused. I got depressed just thinking about it and ended up back at square one. Lost. Then a man entered my living room. Have you ever known someone that entered a room and you immediately knew they were there, because they had such a presence about them? Or you were immediately put at ease just knowing they were nearby? This was how I felt about this man. Immediately, he reminded me of what I was capable of in life. He was a prime speciman of all things good. We worked out together. As he pushed himself harder than I’d seen anyone push, he grew, not just physically but inspirationally. It was like he was not just transforming his body but his soul. I followed him. I did what he told me to do. I pushed harder. I dug deeper within myself and found the champion that I had forgotten was there….because of him. Life, circumstances, struggles had buried ME. This man uncovered me again. But this time, I was even better than before. No, this isn’t my husband. Ha! And no, this man wasn’t physically even in my house. He was on my TV screen. I had purchased the Insanity workout program with zero clue how it would drastically change my life. This man was Shaun T.
Over time, I transformed
I stopped living in what “coulda been” or “shoulda been” or “woulda been” and realized I had the here and now. I started dreaming and hoping and striving and thriving! Who knew a workout program could do all of that? I became a coach at the beginning ONLY to get a discount on the products. But as I transformed, I wanted nothing more than to help others experience what I had. In 4 years, I have built an amazing business all because I decided to give that workout my ALL that day. I decided to leave “me” in a pool of sweat on the floor. Shaun T and I left each workout champions. Each year now, I write my yearly goals on my dry erase wall. It always amazes me how my goals get crazier each year. Mediocrity is not in my vocabulary. I like to not just dream BIG, but dream CRAZY. Very few few people get to see this wall because my dreams are too precious to me. When people come over, I usualize erase it. Most people can’t handle it and I don’t need nor care to hear their comments. Most people won’t understand. They are normal. They run from crazy. I will share what I wrote on my wall this past year with you though. Just keep reading.
The Opportunity I Dreamed Of
A few months ago, my husband calls me from work one night. He normally wouldn’t call at this time. I was slightly worried. “Go look at Shaun T’s facebook page!” That’s all he said. Click. I ran (of course). There it was. Staring back at me. My dream in writing. There was a casting call to be in Shaun T’s next video in 2 days. Insanity Max 30. THIS was what I had written down on my “crazy dreams” wall. Did I REALLY think it was going to happen? Probably not! Was this the “moment” I had been waiting for? Could I REALLY go? WOULD I really go? Would I get chosen? I had no choice but TO GO. Opportunities come very quickly in life. We have to be ready. I booked my ticket. Here’s my journey to the Insanity Max 30 audition: P.S. Be the first to get info on the release of Insanity Max 30 by going here.
