Carpe Diem
This morning I woke up and didn't want to get out of bed. But knowing that I was blessed with another day and how much I love to work with people willed me out of bed this morning. Not to mention the help from my dad to wake me up after hitting the snooze button on the alarm.
After having a great training session with one of my clients and being greeted with a smile from a lady working at the Board of Education as I asked questions, really made me think.
Furthermore, I heard a speech by my favorite football player of all-time Ray Lewis. Who cares right!
Well the thing I want to drive home and the message he drove home was truly appreciating the fact you are alive and really seizing every single moment.
Hence the term "Carpe Diem". Now I know you've heard of the phrase before but really sit down and think. Are you doing your very best to make the most of your life right now? I can honestly say that I am not. But I'm definitely going to make a change and I want for you to join me.
Some will interpret this as, "Heck I got one life so why not do what I want and eat what I want." If this is you, you're missing the point completely. Eating your life away is not fun, in fact it's murder. You are going to put yourself in misery if you don't control your life and make positive changes.
I know change does not come easy, in fact human nature often at times resist change. But I want for you to truly understand that you have a chance to be different. Right now, don't think about what you ate yesterday, or what clothes you couldn't fit into 2 months ago. Instead think about how you going to fit in those clothes you once thought was too small. Think about how you're going to get there and what you are doing right now to bring you even closer to that goal.
You are capable of doing special things, but if you do not believe in yourself, if you don't think you're beautiful from within and confident that you can make the change.... Then we are left with NOTHING.
Today decide to take control of your life. Today is the day to seize. Carpe Diem my friends, it's the only way to go.
