“Don’t chase people. Be an example. Attract them. Work hard and be yourself. The people that belong in your life will come find you and stay. Just do your thing.”
LOVE THIS!
Since becoming a coach I have really had to step outside of my box, open up and become super vulnerable. This has been a real struggle for me in the last year. I haven’t always been someone that is okay with putting my life out there for the world to see. But when I made the decision to become a coach, I …committed to putting myself out there and sharing my struggles and victories so that I could inspire other people like me to take that first step and make a change. After all, personal experience is what people relate to.
I have always been a person who values other peoples opinions, maybe a little too much. I worry about what people are thinking of me and more often than not, this can be crippling. Every time I share something on Facebook, invite people to join me in getting healthy, or present the coaching opportunity to someone who I think could inspire and change lives, I second-guess myself. I can’t tell you how many times I have deleted a post on FB or IG before hitting “post” because I am afraid of what one or two people will think. In fact, there is a chance I may delete this one…LOL!
For the past 12 months, this has been my biggest struggle. But, I just have to remember that my WHY for sharing about my fitness journey and the coaching opportunity is stronger than my fear of what people think. Not everyone is going to agree with what I am doing, and not everyone is going to have positive words to say. But in the end, those people will trickle out of my life, and the people who belong in my life will stay.
So… Be yourself, do your thing, believe in your mission, and be proud of what you are doing.
