Advice from an 81 year old: The most important thing in life

I asked an elderly patient years ago, “What is the most important thing you’ve learned in 81 years?”

And she said somethin I’ll never forget that I also heard on a past podcast, 

“One of the most important things I’ve learned is health is the crown on the well person’s head that only the sick person can see & wealth comes in other important forms other than money.”

Ooooof. Who else felt that? 👋

She went on to say, “I wished I had changed my perspectives sooner. Mostly around the perception of being ‘rich’ & that in order to be seen as beautiful I had to be certain size & status.”

She realized she was always chasin a goal like being rich & losing as much weight as possible instead of embracing the experiences of the journey & being grateful for what she already had.

I don’t know about y’all but I love spending time with the elderlyThey’re full of magical wisdom. It’s one of the most favorite gems 💎 of my job working in healthcare.

Simply walking & making my bed helped transform my life, lose 55lbs & keep it off.

When thinking about a #millionairemorningroutine & the routines of the fittest people on earth, it comes down to the reason AND intention behind their actions.

Let’s be real, simply making your bed is not going to help you lose the weight but being a person that LEADS & keeps commitments to themselves, WILL.

70% of leadership is how you lead yourself. There is a difference between leadership & management just like there’s a difference between PREACHING & PRACTICING what you preach.

I intend to be a human that when someone talks about me I would hope that they would say, “She makes me want to be a better person.”

Had plenty of wake up calls where I asked myself a few things:

  • How are you maintaining positivity in the face of negativity? 
  • How are you setting goals & plans to execute?
  • How are you staying committed to yourself despite lack of motivation or judgement from others?

🔥People will follow you if you give them a purposeful reason to.

3 kinds of leadership:

1️⃣Physical leadership: Are you healthy & happy & nourished body, mind, & spirit to be strong & serve as a role model to others?

2️⃣Mental leadership: social media brainwashes & continuously puts what you want to see in front of you. What are you clicking on, subjecting yourself to, & what are you consuming?

Find the people you want to embody so you can learn from them & be better. Release the individuals who don’t take you where you want to go.

3️⃣Emotional leadership: The ability to stay balanced & even keeled in the face of negativity.

Know your mission & values. Your mission should be built on the foundation of your values.

So what are your values? 

Mine: Service. Health. Wealth & Freedom. Self Nourishment. Extraordinary Relationships.

5 things I’ve learned in 41 yrs I’ll leave with you in hopes of you learning sooner than I did:

➡️Joy, purpose, fulfillment (JPF) vs fame, fortune, applause (FFA). Which would you choose? I choose JPF because if you choose JPF the FFA will follow.

➡️Forms of wealth: self mastery, self awareness, family, health, your craft, personal development, money, time, freedom, charity, adventure, your circle of genius & environment

➡️Don’t lower your standards or standard of living to meet your income, live strategically within your means to raise your income & standards of living to meet your standards.

➡️You are always replaceable within a company. Don’t live for them &/or make them your identity. YOU make money for them. YOU are the gem & YOU create your own abundance. Take YOUR GIFTS with you & have the confidence to creat the life of YOUR DREAMS.

➡️If you’re gonna chase something, chase service. Because👇

“To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die.” – Thomas Campbell.

Our days are numbered, what are you gonna leave behind? 

Abs…a pretty picture…a pretty/handsome face…money in the bank…titles…OR…

👉the memories of your dream life well & wisely lived?

This Is Why You’re Not Getting What You Want

Be who you wish you had grown up seeing in the mirror, the one you’ll proudly & affectionately look back on being, & the one savoring the process becoming them

It’s 5:55am this is likely & algorithmically the worst time to post

 Alas, sometimes we just need to create when we have the mental real estate to do so.

We get so stuck in what’s next we don’t take enough pause to see how far we’ve come.

I cringed at my first stretch mark & belly roll.
I bought the lotions & creams, I cursed the genetics that gave them to me. I hated food – it was the enemy. The thing that made me fat & “undesirable.”

That’s where we started.

Now?
I feel nothing except gratitude for “flaws.”
They did everything they were supposed to.

I was the girl who wore a T-shirt over her bathing suit for years both because I was ashamed of my body & overweight, & I was always in pain, bloated, struggling with gut issues — which made me a miserable person because that’s how I chose to react.

I empathize with anyone struggling with a dis-ease that makes them feel like a prisoner in their own body, that makes them feel lost & weird & less than & hopeless.

I have scars from surgery on my abdomen. I have a scar from a navel ring, which I got when I turned 18 because my parents told me I couldn’t 

😂

I have creases & cellulite & stretch marks on my tummy & thighs because my body is miraculous & adaptable.

I have belly rolls when I sit down just like you. I have tons of sunspots & freckles & wrinkles from days making memories in the sun.

I’ve survived cervical cancer, infertility, renal stones, eating disorders, obesity, chronic pain from #crohnsdisease , scoliosis & old injuries, broken bones, depression, childhood & relationship trauma, debt in so many more ways than money…

…it’s called life. And we have the power to control how we respond to things

❤️

Take your power back.
