Quitters becoming Winners

 

Who said that quitters never win? I beg to differ. I believe there are times in everyone’s life when it’s extremely beneficial and necessary to move people, places, and things... away from and out of our lives to help propel us to our next chapter. Yes, it may be scary to step outside of our ‘norm’, but when that time presents itself, it’s important for us to heed the call. When we think of Quitters, we often think of someone who easily gives up. However, the kind of Quitter I’m referencing is the person who starts releasing people and things that no longer serve a purpose in their lives & they're not afraid to let them go. They win by caring enough about themselves to start prioritizing their own well-being. 

Some examples I’ve seen of Quitters becoming Winners is when they...

QUIT a job/career that they’re no longer passionate about...

QUIT...Doing things that are detrimental to their wellbeing...

QUIT...Stressing & worrying about things beyond their control...

QUIT...Letting people manipulate & bully them...

QUIT...Hanging out with the wrong crowd...

QUIT...Abusing their bodies... just to name a few...

So you see, Quitters DO actually WIN when they find the courage to do so.  😊

This is so true. Some times, QUITTING people that are family members, is the hardest. Once you do, there is such peace. Once I realized some people come into my life for a season, others to stay, some to come back later when they become “healthy “. You can’t make someone care about you, love you, respect you. If they aren’t, then let them go.

Since losing my sister in March, i have QUIT taking my health for granted. The way she suffered the last few months on earth, i knew that i must start to take better care of myself. I started going to a wgt loss clinic and also started a wgt loss program called Optavia. I started the clinic in July and optavia in August. As of this passed Monday, i have lost a total of 43 pounds. Following her death, i went thru this period that i didn’t want to do anything or see anybody. I did a lot of self examinations of things and people in my life. So i have let a few people go that i felt that had QUIT on me in life. Ro Ro thank you taking the time to do these post, I will do a better job of reading them. 💜U!

The Struggle IS REAL!!

“My struggle IS real & it’s been an emotional roller coaster at times.” When I was hosting, ‘The Beat Goes On’ radio show from 2014-2018, I would often reference, ‘The Struggle being REAL’ in reference to my weight and physical health. What I didn’t realize at the time was that those challenges didn’t deal with my physical health , like I thought .  Instead, I finally had an epiphany & realized that the ‘ Struggle ’ I often spoke of, had more to do with my Mental Health than it did anything else! Conversations about Mental Health are not often referenced in a positive light, which is why many people have a hard time seeking the needed help to maintain a healthy mental balance in life . Along my journey, I’ve struggled with battles that would plague my mind about my health and well-being. I would accept, receive and believe all the negative & judgmental thoughts, the scrutiny, the demeaning words, the ‘put downs’, & the ugly criticisms that oftentimes ran amu...

Who do YOU say, "I AM"?

When was the last time that you loved on yourself? When was the last time that you told yourself how  beautiful you are; the last time that you praised yourself for the talents that you’ve been blessed with; the last time that you acknowledged your creativity; the last time that you patted yourself on the back for something great that you did; the last time that you looked in the mirror and fell in love with YOU… not because of your outward beauty but because of the beauty that you feel resonating from within.  OH! You don’t remember the last time?? Is it because those are not things that you’re in the habit of saying to or about yourself? Are you instead, in the habit of acknowledging all of your faults, your mistakes, your shortcomings, your insecurities, the problems in your life? Do you tend to beat yourself down and say demeaning things like, “I am so FAT…”; “I’m unhealthy“; “I am not worthy”; “I’m so slow”; “I am not as smart as…”; “I’m certainly not qualified to…”; ...

What doesn’t kill us makes us STRONGER!!

Like so many of us in life, we've experienced some type of adversity. It's not fun and we don't like it, but as we experience adversity, we're also experiencing growth. That might sound like an oxymoron but think about it. Think of a time where you fought and struggled so hard and thought that you would NEVER pull through. A time when you were in so much pain, (mentally & physically) that it was unbearable. It could have been a struggle in your health, your finances, your family, and even your faith.  Situations in life sometimes take us through a gamut of dramatic emotions and leave us feeling like we're at our lowest point. It's even difficult sometimes to see how we can pull ourselves out of certain circumstances. Oftentimes we feel like we're not going to make it. We might have gained some bumps and scrapes and battle scars in the process, but inevitably, we often pull through those tough times and on the other side of the adversity... we've emer...
