I met a lady at the gym today who expressed that she was unhappy with her weight and the stress level in her life. She expressed that she has been living a pretty stressful life over the past few years and has turned to food as comfort. She stated that she knows that she can make a change, but doesn't want to do so until her son graduates from high school. Her son is in the 9th grade. You do the math. Puzzled, I asked her why she would put off her health for 3 years. She could not really answer the question. How many of us get so caught up in our day to day lives that we neglect our minds, bodies and spirits? We sacrifice for our children, careers and others but neglect ourselves. The reality is we cannot be a true service to others if we don’t take care of ourselves. 

If you find yourself thinking like this, it’s time to get your mind right! The enemy plays with our minds and tries to make us believe that we cannot do certain things. He will make us think that we have to put off living a happier fuller life in order to take care of others or to focus on our jobs. That is crap. Stop letting these thoughts of doubt and insecurity control every aspect of your life. The time is NOW, not 3 years from now.
