Everybody wants to play the middle. In one breath we say we want a life that reflects exceptional health and well being, then in another we remain committed to the mindset and behaviors that produce the opposite of that. 

It's time to choose: be well or be right.

All obstacles equal opportunity. Get your head out of the matrix nonsense and remember defeat only comes when you accept it.

Reasons feed you. They move you. They pull you forward. 

If you feel like you're stuck and uninspired to take action on what it is you say you want in life, this is your reminder that yo reasons ain't good enough.

Pain is one of life's offerings. It plays a role and has a purpose like anything else in life.

We must examine whether pain itself is the problem or our understanding of it. 

What you prove when you lack patience is that you're moving in fear and doubt but more importantly, you confirm that you have more faith in failing than you do in experiencing life as you envision it.

It is always you. It is always your thoughts, your feelings and your mindset that determines what you experience in life.

If illness becomes a repeating theme in your reality, it's time to check the philosophies you believe in and are currently living by. 

You can cry, , moan, and complain but at the end of the day what you get out of life is all on you.

Your dreams, health goals and the life you envision for yourself must be fueled by your own support, beliefs and encouragement. Otherwise, prepare for them to die and you along with it.

Until you incorporate the discipline needed to shift how you respond to the circumstances you encounter in life, the sight of obstacles will continue to be a source of discouragement.

Remember, an out of control body reflects an unstable mind. 

Free will allows us all to choose whether we continue pursuing what we truly desire in life or give up and pretend it doesn't matter.

If everybody stops somewhere, ask yourself is right here and right now where you stop?

The world's narrative would lead you to believe that life is a mean, evil and unfair experience but to the trained eye comes the understanding that if all things ultimately work for your good, no matter how it comes, it must be a gift.

Remember the pains and pressure of life only seek to destroy the weaknesses within and equip you with the wisdom needed to navigate the uncharted waters ahead. Give thanks.
