Success is being Self-Full...

So many times I've done what was expected of me... What was wanted of me... Not what I wanted. When I did what I wanted it was done out of rebellion, to prove no one could put me in a box or dictate what I do... And this has gotten me into a lonely, depressed, confused state of mind.

I was watching Oprah's Lifeclass with Iyanla and when she said " how you treat yourself is a reflection of how you treat God" it struck a cord with me. In my life I can look back at the moments when I treated myself right, when the plan worked, when my mind was clear, when I had faith and I see God's footprint in my timeline.

But what I got from this is that to have Success, I have to be Self-Full. Cause to help others, to do my life's purpose, I have to fully be me, stand in my truth and have my cup full... What runneth over my cup is what I'm giving... What's in my cup is mine! It's another way of saying I need to put my oxygen mask on first...

So I say all of this to acknowledge I've allowed myself to be distracted... But no more... I have my first 5k to run on May 5... An insurance exam to retake, a child to get focused... Some weight to lose, bills to pay, money to save, life to live, love for myself to gain and a plan to work... Let's get it!
