Expectations

I am me.
You are you.

And I never expect you to be like me.

My goals are set for the future I want, and I'm sure our futures are differnet.

However, if you want to be successful, you better learn to work hard and smart!

If you want lose weight, you better learn to like green and lean foods.

If you want to be toned, defined, and strong...you better learn to like to exercise & sweat.

If you want to stay married forever, you better read your Bible & learn to pray (hard).

If you want good kids who love God, you better be a good adult and love God yourself (and pray some more).

And if you want to go to heaven, you better get to know, believe in, and love Jesus Christ.

These are the things I want in life...but I do not expect you to be like me.

But if you want anything in life - I do expect you to do your part.

Be responsible. Be an active participant in your life. Be you!

I NEED SUCCESS STORIES

I am going through this 30 day challenge thing, I'll have to tell you more about it next week, since I will have completed it then..and I will share with you some nuggets that are changing my life.

Today's short video was in regards to 'celebrating your successes'. Wonderfully coincidently, I want to feature YOUR success stories on my blog on Saturdays (Success Story Saturday). But I need to hear from you. I want to hear your story. You all hear my stories...but I want to hear what you are doing. And I want to celebrate you!

This isn't something to be shy and feel that others will judge you for being boastful. This is something I see that is lacking in our lives/society. Bonafide, genuine recognition. I am a natural encourager. Ask many of my friends, it just oozes out of me...I can't really take credit for it either, it's just how I was made by my Maker.

So I want to celebrate you, I want to encourage you that it's working and it's wonderful that you reached a goal or completed what you set out to do. Whether it's small...like you just started implementing a budget, you just gave up sodas this week, you finished a book that will change your life. Or a big deal like you just paid off your car,...or maybe it's huge, like you just received your Master's Degree, or lost 100-200 lbs. similarly to my husband (http://www.thislittlepiggywenttothegym.com/), or you saved your marriage. Share some nitty-gritty stuff.

Whatever it is - TELL ME ABOUT IT, PLEASE! In my eyes, any completion of something, any goal reached is something to be celebrated ALWAYS!

Please email your stories, pics to jennifermorin@beachbodycoach.com. (You can multiple ones too). I want to hear from you. There are incentives, but you'll never know unless you are bold, speak up. Let me celebrate you!!! SERIOUSLY!
