Not Succeeding?
Hey guys! It’s Jessica Bowser Nelson and it’s time for something I’m going to be calling my “Wednesday Rant“. A lot of my videos are about health and fitness, or possibly success in your business, but every Wednesday I’m going to start talking about a topic that I’m either super passionate about or super opinionated on.
I just finished my workout so I thought it would be a great time to talk about the THING that just KILLS people’s success in any area of their life MORE than anything else and that’s: YOU!
You could be keeping yourself from succeeding. For example, I’m in my workout and IMMEDIATELY thoughts start running thru my head and I KNOW you’re doing this:
I’m tired.
I’m kind of hungry.
What if I stop early?
Do I really need to be doing this?
Is it even working?
Am I getting results?
Who am I kidding?
Why am I doing this?
Nobody will know if I stop.
It never works anyways. I’m probably going to eat bad later also so why bother?
I can’t do this move. I’m uncoordinated.
I suck at this. ETC.
You’re literally DESTROYING yourself in seconds
And I know, because I do this. So what if, INSTEAD…you start saying to yourself (literally):
I’m STRONG!
I can DO THIS!
I’m a CONQUEROR!
I’m a CHAMPION!
I’m improving DAILY!
I want to be better than I was YESTERDAY…because YESTERDAY, I was defeated, I was depressed, I was tired and I was OVER IT and I don’t want to be that person anymore. I can DO THIS! I can push. I can improve. I’m SHOWING UP. How many people show up? Not many. And I’M DOING IT!
And be proud of yourself. Honestly, in the Bible it says, “Life and death is in the power of the tongue” so you can LITERALLY provide yourself life by your very words. I deal with people all day long that are keeping themselves from succeeding and just destroying themselves, their future, their purpose, their life, their POSSIBILITIES with their OWN LANGUAGE.
It’s a very simple fix because it’s something that’s in your control and now that you’re aware you just have to catch it. I caught myself today. Literally. I was just saying, “I’m just going to turn this thing off…take an extra day off…who cares?”
And then I was like: “NO! I’m strong. I’m strong. I’m STRONG! I CAN DO THIS!” And let me tell you what, THAT’S the key to succeeding in your life.
So many people THROW IN THE DANG TOWEL! WHY?!?! Don’t you want MORE for yourself? Don’t you want your life to MATTER? It’s EASY to throw in the towel. EVERYBODY throws in the towel. DON’T BE EASY AND DON’T BE EVERYBODY.
