Hey Gang, Jill here popping in super quick with a topic that I really couldn’t wait to share with you. But first off, we’re getting settled in Florida so I’m back!
You know, everything happens for a reason and I have to say that maybe the big guy upstairs put me here for a reason. I know that some of you know that this location wasn’t the end all be all of where I wanted to be and leaving was a lot harder than I expected. I’ve honestly been a little bit homesick.
But this is about YOU. This is about each and every single one of you letting you know that you ALL matter.
Yesterday I met a neighbor across the street and it broke my heart because she doesn’t believe that she really matters. We got into a conversation and the bottom line was that she didn’t believe in that she matters in life, that she’s always taking a second seat to her kids, to her husband. Like she doesn’t feel like she is deserving.
How crazy is that? This is a woman who is a Mom, who’s been a wife, who has served and done some great things volunteer wise—and yet she still doesn’t feel like she deserves to be happy and that her priorities should be met as well.
And so today, I just wanted to really reach out to each and every one of you that might be struggling out there. You all know my story and if you don’t, really briefly—I have PTSD and this move has really put it into overdrive. I’m now starting to get back to normal, but we ALL matter.
I don’t care where you come from, I don’t care what you’ve done in the past. YOU matter.
But it’s important for you all to know that you were put here for a reason and you are a really special person. You have a message. Maybe you don’t know that yet, but maybe it’s just your smile. Or maybe it’s reaching out to someone else that you haven’t spoken to in a while and being that bigger person.
I can’t answer for every single one of you what it is. But I know for me right now I just needed to reach out. Not only did that woman across the street come into my path but I’ve been working with a couple of my clients behind the scenes and they just don’t believe in themselves enough yet. I believe in them, I know they are capable of it and I know they are worthy of good health and better fitness. And I’m not talking sizes, I’m just talking about being able to walk down a flight of stairs without getting winded, or being able to walk into a department store and buy clothes that fit.
Just feeling good about who you are. I just want to shout it from the rooftops today that each and every single one of you makes a difference in this life. So keep at it, keep doing and keep being you. And when you find those days that you’re struggling and you don’t have anyone else to reach out to, reach out to me. I’m always here for you guys.
But just know, it’s not always easy. There’s so much negativity out there. I get it. Every day you try to bring yourself up and somebody is knocking you down. But know that you MATTER and you make a difference in this world. Show the world that you can make a difference and don’t listen to the negative nellies.
Because I’m here to tell you that you’re special, you’re awesome, you’re amazing.
Now go out there and kick some butt! Have an awesome day! xoxo
