CHOICE
(from the Oprah workshop, "Live Your Best Life"
Look at the choices you've made over time and you will begin
to understand how you have directed your life toward the path
you're on. The world is always reflecting back your deepest
intentions.
Every choice you make defines, once more, who you are.
Every choices give you a chance to pave your own road
further....what you choose to say or NOT to say....with whom
you choose to spend your time..how you choose to see
yourself in any given situation. Even what you are going
to eat or drink, in its own way will define you.
Want a different life? Begin with your intentions, and start
to make different choices. It is one of the most powerful
laws of the universe----the law that rules your life---
whether you're aware of it or not. Different intentions create
different thoughts,....different thoughts create different
choices....different choices create a different like.

This has been monumental in my life. When I finally got
clear on my intention back in 1996 which was to change
my LIFESTYLE and become a healthy, confident, powerful
woman it no longer became about getting below 250 pounds.
Sure, I wanted and needed to lose weight, but I knew "this time"
needed to be different if I wanted different results.

It's been an awesome journey. I continue to learn more and more
about myself with every mile run and every pound I leave behind.
I believe because my intention has been to become healthy, confident
and powerful I have been given numerous opportunities to learn
just what I have "intended" to learn. I've also learned I'm stubborn
in certain areas so I keep being shown the "lesson" again and again
and again. Aaaaah....the journey continues.

So, Connectors what is your intention? When you get clear on
your intention, suddenly your priorities will fall into place!

Believe in Yourselves!

NO MORE EXCUSES

This is really good, Corinna! I really like that tawny and what she has to say. I printed this out to re-read. Thanks for posting it!!

Emilyrose - I bet you'd love the Tawny book too, then.. She lost a bunch of weight doing the Make the Connection thing.. Her book is called NO EXCUSES, I think. :)

This part fits me to a tee. I have been on so many diets in my life and they work for awhile, but I always go off of them before reaching my goal. Of course, I think I should lose the weight in a quick time period that I get bored with dietting. This time it is different. I don't care how long it takes me to get to where my body tells me is a good weight. I have already been on this journey for almost 1 year. I would never have thought that I could last this long!!!
Enough of me rambling on. Thanks for posting this!!!

You go girlfriend! You're doing so amazingly well! :)

See what I mean about being ignored??

Ya lost me.

Am I ignoring you or is someone ignoring me?
