WE ALWAYS WANT WHAT WE CAN'T HAVE...

Why is it that we always want what we don't have? Women with straight hair want wavy hair. Women with curly hair want straight hair. Women who are short want to be tall, and women who are tall want to be shorter. And the list goes on....
We as women (not only in the fitness field, but every day life), seem to compare ourselves to other women and then sometimes wanting what others have.
I must say I am probably the biggest culprit of this. Everyday I find myself wanting to change this, tweak that, 'fix' this, etc. I've always done this in some shape or form.
Then something seemed to hit me the other day. WHY am I doing this? Why do I want to change so much of me, instead of being grateful for what I have, and what I have already accomplished?? I would never want my daughter to think some of the things I have thought about myself. I want her to be confident in who she is first as a child of God, second her character, and who she will become as a woman.
God made every single person different for a REASON. Don't get me wrong, I'm still working and going to work extremely hard towards my personal goals, but I'm going to do it with a different mindset; a more 'freeing' mindset if you will...
EVERYDAY I see the same gentleman in a wheelchair comes to Lifetime and workouts, and he does everything to his capabilities at 100%. And here I am comparing a body part of mine to someone else's...How dare I do such a thing?! God made me in HIS likeness, and no one else's.

For every woman out there: Work, and work HARD towards your goals. But remember who gave you those talents and remember He made you a certain way for a purpose. Also, do your work for yourself and YOUR goals, and not anyone else. This is still a learning process for me. I'm not going to have a complete 360 mindset overnight. But I am going to pray about it and hand it over to God...
Blessings to you all and have an awesome and healthy weekend coming up!!

There will be some fun posts next week!! Can't wait!
