One thing that really strikes me is how many people just accept their current, unwanted situation in life. They accept being overweight, unfit, unhealthy, and unhappy with themselves, settling for a life they don’t truly want. They let their dreams remain dreams and accept a “second-rate life” so easily. That bugs me. Why settle for less when you are meant to be so much more?
I KNOW how much making a dream happen can change your life. You’ll hardly recognize the old you and your life before you started this journey. Reaching your full potential will unlock the best version of you on every level. If it’s so great, why don’t people run with all their might toward their dreams and start this journey?
Let me tell you why. Making a dream come true requires effort.
Whatever your dream is, effort is the number one ingredient.
Comfortable Habits
Right now, your life is built around habits: watching TV, enjoying sports, drinking beer, lounging on the sofa, reading, socializing with friends. These feel-good habits are comforting, but they’re slowly killing you. Your arteries can only handle so much cholesterol, your heart can only beat so many times under high blood pressure, and your kidneys and liver can only process so much junk food. Untrained muscles continue to weaken, and a weakened body is a ticking time bomb. Your immune system relies on your muscle mass, and when it runs on fumes, even a minor infection can be fatal.
Where you could have died at 50, embarking on an all-out quest to reach your dream can transform your life and give you the best years after 50. Many of my peers have already passed away, living their lives of comforting habits, never reaching for their dreams.
It often takes a close brush with death to shake our foundations and prompt us to make a real decision about our lives. Sadly, I was one of those people. It took a near-death experience at 40 to push me to change my habits and pursue my dreams.
But here’s the inspiring part: since turning 40, I’ve met countless people who didn’t need a near-death experience to change. They simply reached a point where they said, “Enough is enough.” They wanted more from life and decided to chase their dreams. You can make that choice, too. Don’t wait for a crisis. Decide today to change your habits and transform your life. Your best years are ahead of you!
I’ve witnessed people pushing through and achieving far more than just realizing their dreams.
Let me tell you something important: you would MUCH rather make this choice while you’re still healthy than be forced to make it when your life depends on it and you’re fighting with your back against the wall. Don’t wait for a crisis. Choose to change now, while you have the strength and the freedom to do so. Your future self will thank you for it.
Defining the “point” where it starts
But how do we define that pivotal “point” which enables people to start their journey towards their dreams effectively?
This “point” is when you truly WANT to change and start the journey on every level of your being—mind, body, and soul.
Mind: You understand what lies ahead and the effort and changes required. You’re willing to make the necessary sacrifices because you know this is the only way to reach your dream.
Body: You accept that there will be pain and sweat—lots of it. You know there will be hunger pains, less socializing with friends, and much less beer. You’re prepared for these sacrifices and hardships because nothing worthwhile has ever been achieved without them. Some form of hardship is essential to achieve success, to change your life, and to reach your dreams.
Soul: You’re not in this journey just for the superficial benefits. You’re in it to become the best version of yourself, especially on the inside. You need to look in the mirror and like both the outside and inside of the person staring back at you. For me, it was my faith journey in following Jesus Christ that unlocked everything for me, particularly the inner character and soul transformation.
Reach that point, and you’ll find the strength to pursue your dreams with every part of your being.
Yesterday, I had a powerful teaching moment with my teenage son. I wanted to show him that he has the power within him to turn everything around and become all that he is meant to be. Today, I want to share this message with you, whoever you are. Maybe you’re at a point where you despise nearly everything about what you’ve become and who you are. Hear me when I say this: you have the ability to change everything, and I mean EVERYTHING—your heart, your soul, your character, your body (no matter how much you’ve let it go), your future, your happiness, your life. You can start that journey today, right this instant.
All it requires is that you want it with every part of your being—mind, body, and soul. You must want this change with everything in you. Then, my friend, I pray that God blesses your journey.
GO AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
