THIS 💯👏🏼

You have no idea what that person went through to GET HERE, no idea what they lost or had to sacrifice! If I didn’t share my past you guys wouldn’t know the s**t I had to go through to become THIS PERSON, but trust me there was a lot of it!!!

You don’t know what hard choices that person has made & unless you’re willing to make the hard choices don’t expect the reward! Nothing is handed to us in this life but stop hating on those that got the message and are willing to work for it, use that same energy and GO FOR IT yourself!

If you’re in your losing season JUST KEEP GOING, your winning season is coming😘 Every challenge is an opportunity to learn & grow! You cannot have a hero without a worthy opponent… the truth is everything in your life is shaping you into the EXACT person you’re meant to be!

Friendly reminder: we are all getting the results we wanted or the lesson we NEEDED🫶🏼 Let the hard times challenge you knowing that you are becoming that more badass with each passing trial💯💪🏼❤️‍🔥

You got this👏🏼 & my inbox is always open if you need help getting through it🫶🏼

Today my 6 year old taught me a valuable lesson🥹

I had some negative thoughts brewing this morning. We started our workout and I kept hitting my weights off things, I got frustrated and I may or may not have threw them on the ground and went upatairs to cool off & collect myself. Cora saw this and followed me upstairs, I asked her for a hug, focused on my breathing for a moment and then went back downstairs to finish our workout.

She came down 1/2 way through and surprised me with a card she made. *peep my stories bc I caught it on video🥹 The outside has a happy face with a ✅ and a frownie face with an ✖️ and her name. Inside it said, “One time you got so angry but you never gave up - Cora❗️”

You will lose your cool, you will get angry and your kids are going to see you do it…. But they are also WATCHING to see what you do next!

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again for whoever is going through it right now & could use the reminder: My kids will see me struggle but theyll never see me give up. When life gets tough for them I want them to fight through it so that’s exactly what they will see me do!

So to quote my super smart, very self aware 6 year old…

YOU WILL GET ANGRY BUT DON’T YOU DARE GIVE UP!

Everyones life is either an example or a warning- Fight, if that’s what it takes, to be the EXAMPLE they need🫶🏼❤️‍🔥🥹

Are you familiar with the enneagrams? If not, I highly recommend it!

A few weeks ago, I realized I am actually an enneagram 4, and not an Enneagram 2 like I always thought🤯 I really, really want to learn more about myself from this space🫶🏼

If you are into the enneagrams, what is your favorite book?

BISON or CATTLE

During intense weather, bison turn and face the storm. It is said they are the only animals known to do so because heading into the storm shortens the length of the storm out in those vast open spaces.

We all have storms in our lives, some more than others. We all have things we must overcome. As you can see with this magnificent, legendary animal in Yellowstone Park, it is choosing to embrace the storm head on. It may take more energy to fight the elements ahead but ultimately LESS TIME is spent in the fight.

In the howling winds and sideways snow, you can follow the bison’s lead and you too can simply turn and face the storm ahead. You can try to outrun it like cattle, spending MORE time in harsh conditions with less chance of survival. Nature provides us with so many lessons, next time you feel like you’re in the thick of it remember you can always follow the bison’s lead, to take what life gives you head on.

Because the bison knows how to shorten the storm. And then it heads for the light.

BE A BISON FRIENDS🦬
