I have a show each week on http://www.envision-radio.com titled, “Live Your Best Life!” Going into it’s 4th year in November, I spotlight people with information, resources and tools to help others to live their best life. But I’m still wondering after 3+ years of the show and all of the books, websites and social media handles I’ve relayed to the world, whether you’re really living your best life or not? I am truly living a life beyond my wildest dreams. No, it’s not perfect. I didn’t say perfect, I said best life. I’m 60 now and have more aches than I used to but I have more opportunities, ideas for new projects and time to implement my ideas than I ever did before. Why? Because I prayed and planned for these days. I went to school when I was young so I would be able to have the skills to grow, learn and produce. I sacrificed time for enjoyment and shopping so that I could enjoy doing many things or absolutely nothing or absolutely everything that I want to do now. I delayed gratification and I am so thankful for it. Did I gripe, complain, fuss, pout and feel left out before? Of course. I’m human too but now, I am grateful for the choices that I made. Now, I know that someone is reading this and saying, “Julia life happened and my choices were taken away from me?” Did life take everything away from you and you could never recover or did you sink into a dark place and just give in, settle and didn’t fight for your life after taking time to grieve, regroup, heal and then get back on course? I’ll leave that right there. To some my life may look perfect but, I got a divorce and degree in 1994. My ex-husband got a woman pregnant while we were still married. My dad died in 2010. My husband and I are still on a Cancer journey. I had COVID-19 twice. So, what did I learn?
It’s about the choices and attitude.
It’s about prayer, praise, planning and pushing to keep going inspite of…
It’s about the sacrifice for the present to prepare for your future.
It’s about listening to GOD who has the Master Plan and submitting my will to HIS!
It’s about working while worrying and learning, growing and executing while wondering if it will really work out.
Finally, it’s about risking everything knowing that you could lose it all but that the worst part of life is not doing anything that scares you which is existing and NOT really living at all.
That’s it. That’s the post. So, it’s left up to you to determine how you are willing to live this life to prepare for the next. Let’s go!
