seriously.

ok guys...
lets get one thing clear. i'm horrible at my post titles.
if you want to read it promise me you'll read it no matter what the title is. ;)

so one thing i wanted to talk about today that i feel has been very prevalent this week in everything i do is...
don't do things for you.
do it for the good of other people.
once i realized that i was here to help other people achieve happiness and self worth, everything else fell into place.
you can't do things for the money, or the recognition.
sure it's super nice... but as soon as you focus on that you lose what is really important.

one of my favorite quotes ever is from the Dalai Lama
"our prime purpose in this life is to help others. 
and if you can't help them at least don't hurt them."

i mean seriously. i wish i would have embraced that so long ago... but i believe i ran into it now for a reason. life is no longer about me. yes i have goals and absolutely i have dreams but i realized that i will not get there alone. i need as many loving and supportive people as possible and i will help everyone i can.

i always say "herbalife changed my soul."
it absolutely did. if i didn't choose to start the product and choose to build a relationship with my coach... i would still be stuck in the "how will i make as much money as i want to live a happy life" mindset. looking back, it was not even a tiny bit fun. i was MISERABLE. i couldn't figure out what i wanted to do with my life... you know why? i was focused on me, and the money.
now i wake up in the morning with a purpose, i start to think "who am i going to help today?" i LOVE that mindset. my life is so full of purpose now, i am present in every moment of everyday. that is absolutely a hard thing to learn and master.
now i'm not perfect. you know i have bad days, but then again it leads back to when i'm thinking about me and me alone.

its so crazy to think that just a few months ago i spent a weekend in this room full of people overcoming barriers and opening up my mind to possibility. i still think about it and it gives me chills. i will never forget the day that i went into our nutrition club and i felt the most broken and lost i have ever felt before. i looked at my coach and started crying, we spent some time talking and he said "you aren't broken, you are perfect for where you are right now." he invited me to some meeting that night... now of course the old me said ya i'll be there but in my head i knew that i wouldn't go... tanner pushed me to go and i also realized that there was a reason i was being pushed there. (keep in mind the past few months i was on and off different anti anxiety medications and anti depressants.) i seriously felt like something was wrong with me and i was just spiraling into this nothingness. that wasn't me.
so anyway tanner and i went to the meeting and i couldn't stop crying. somehow i knew that i was meant to be there.. i still felt crazy and broken.. but i felt like this might help me. i signed up for the landmark forum that night. it's something that i can't even explain. it changes your way of thinking. i'm finally happy and whole. i'm bawling just thinking about it right now. where would i be without it today? i don't even know.
it opened my eyes to the fact that i create everything and every experience in my life.
i choose how i feel. i know that seems so easy and i can tell people that over and over.. but you just don't fully get it until you are in this course for three whole days. let me tell you, it was an emotional roller coaster. it was worth every single second. i thank my coaches every chance i get for helping me get through the hardest time in my life. it means so much to me. i'm a different person and i love who i am being. i can truly say that.

that is why i do what i do and share what i share, in hopes that i can help you in any way possible.

xo.
