My 'mumsy' called and told me a story from a comedy show she attended at her church. "Megsy," she said, "I was sitting there and I knew that this story was for you." Long story made short. Sometimes in life you think that you know what you want. You keep insisting that that is they way life is supposed to go, and sometimes you have to take a chance and let the road go where it may and know that He has a plan for you. My life isn't where I thought it would be, but I wouldn't change it. 10 years ago, if you had told me I would be sitting her having lost over 100 pounds, I would have told you, you were crazy. I took a chance the first time I stepped into that Zumba® class and every time I stand in front of the class, I take a chance.
Over the last few days, friends have posted status' on social media that I have taken as signs as well:
"Cause you are good enough-You are smart enough -and gosh darn it, people like you!"
Often times we are too worried about what others think. Im not skinny enough, fast enough, good enough… turns out… I am.
The people who love you- the ones who truly want what is best for you- will try to let you know that perhaps you're not acting in your own best interests. You won't want to listen. But tuck this away for future reference. The voice of love always has your back." - Panache Desai
Sometimes its hard to hear what friends and family say. They are seeing us from the outside looking in.
