I want to share with you one of the most powerful eye opening lessons that I am learning since being diagnosed with cancer about a month ago. And having cancer is teaching me that no matter how hard we want to push towards success, we need to stop and reconnect with who we are and with what matters most and we have to take the time to look inward. I've taken my situation as a sign that I wasn't slowing down in life and I wasn't taking time to rest and rejuvenate. I was just pushing. I was pushing. I was addicted to progress and success and it's and all of that. And this cancer was really the final warning that I needed to stop and get present to the beauty in the moment and the beauty in relationships with my friends and my family. Now I don't have a graph that shows how my lack of rest and rejuvenation caused any disease that I may have. I don't have proof. I just know that that's the biggest change that I'm going to make. Instead of forcing my way through low energy cycle, always pushing and choosing a ch achievement and progress towards goals over rest and rejuvenation and listening to my body and that's the biggest change that I'm going to make is those periods of rest and rejuvenation and spending those with my family right taking that time to be the people that I love and to be with myself.
Hal spoke about slowing down, listening to your body, investing in your health and some positive message. Really felt good talk this morning. What resonated with me was just being mindful and present present interactions and being able to focus on the here and now and be able to make quality decisions based upon that.
One of the things that's been so inspiring to me, I read Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod and it's just been a game changer and I got to meet Hal. Meeting someone who's so authentic and so living his purpose and passion inspired me to get my butt from D.C. to California for this best year ever blueprint. And I day one just morning I already know this is such a great decision and I'm really, really grateful to be.
