I've been in a really good place lately, just a tad bit busier. Seeing many people in a similar place I thought it was necessary to put up some great words of wisdom. Life is not all about competition. I get exhausted hearing people complain and describe their lack of time. It's hard. I think everyone is in agreement but there has to be ways to find peace. There are. I think it's actually harder for most people to give themselves that time or space but it's so necessary. If you want to eat healthier, be prepared. It's really that simple. Make your food ahead of time and plan for being out with healthy snack options.

If you want to work out more, you just have to go for it 100%. I use a calendar and literally long range my plans according to my goals. I check off each day and log it into Myfitnesspal. It helps me, but do what helps you. If you need time to just sit in quiet, sacrifice 15 minutes of sleep, it may change your whole day. I really hope more people do not give up on themselves and remember that all of your worries about the future are not going to go away no matter how much you worry. Have faith and live in the moment. It's easier said than done, I know, but we owe it ourselves to be better in ALL areas of our lives. There is no complete fulfillment that comes from being a straight A student but you neglect your family and friends all the time or a devoted worker who works and works even when they're not at work and misses out on memories with loved ones. Life happens really fast. Be mindful for yourself and for others. Your kids, friends and family are looking to you and are inspired by you whether you realize it or not.
Keep the faith, stay positive and believe.
