Sometime during month 5-6 I realized something...though this journey to "a new me" was about me, Amanda getting my life in control with my weight...I realized that it wasn't about me. Don't get me wrong, the weight loss and for my health, all me. I have/had to do the work. But the transformation that was, is taking place has made me realize that this...what I'm doing isn't just about me. It affects EVERYTHING that I do. EVERYONE that I come in contact with and ALL that I think about.
When you get to the point in your life when you have the AH HA moment and say this, all that's around me isn't about me. It's about what I'm doing to give back to others, to give of my time, to live my life to reflect my actions....for other people. Then you get it, then the progress and what you’re trying to accomplish happens.
Lately in my life I've been non profit focused. Giving back, helping in the community, making a difference. I've always had this passion and drive but as I've gotten older I've realized how important this is. We get one go at this and at the end of my day I want to lay my head down and reflect back on the day and know that what I did with my day, how I walked through out the moments either made a difference in someone's life and/or business for the better. A year ago I couldn't have said this, 6 months ago I couldn't have said this....but right now I can say that I am striving for this. I am working to make this happen.
Don't be afraid to give back, to give forward, side ways...doesn't matter, just remember that this isn't about "me" it's about us! :)
