What do you prioritize?

We often sit in things that we dislike or don't want simple because we do nothing to change them. I am not talking about changing other people. If you don't like how they treat you, why not remove yourself? If you don't like your weight, why not start eating better or get active? If you don't like your circumstances, why not step back and take a look at what got you there?

We want to be rescued, and maybe in large part by all the disney movies we grew up on. Reality is if you want things to change, you must make them priority. You have to get up every day thinking, what can I do today to get one step closer? It won't happen overnight but if you are working towards it daily before you know it. It will be your reality. One day at a time. What's the risk? You have been doing nothing towards it for far too long and you are still miserable. So why not give it a shot. You may fail, this is very true. Not doing anything though, you will never know what you are really capable of. A month ago, I didn't think I could just eat food in its original form for more than 3 days. Look at me now, I ate raw for a month. I would have never known I could if I didn't start.

I was in reflection this morning on what a difference a year made. I will be coming up on my wedding anniversary in a few weeks. I have really been married a year. This year stretched and grew me so much because it made everything God had been talking to me real. I was really a wife. I was really going to have children. I would really have to teach little people that trusted me every day with their life. I couldn't start teaching once they got here, but doing what I should while they were in my womb. I will have land and animals to take care of.

I had to prioritize who I needed to be, to be successful in those places. I had to not prioritize who I had been to keep me from getting there. What is truly important to you? Are you comfortable telling yourself I am to weak to get to where I want to be?
