WHY NOT ME?

Have you ever looked around at other people and wished you could be more like them but thought that there is no way you could do what they did or have what they have so you just kept going on with your life?  The post that I wrote the other day was about looking at those people and comparing yourself to them so I am not saying that you should compare yourself to them or that I am comparing myself to them.  What I am asking myself is if they can be skinny, why can't I be skinny?  If they can be successful and are able to live their dream life, why can't I be successful and live my dream life?  The answer is there is no reason that I can't be like them. 

The real question to ask here is how bad do I want to have what they have?  What are they doing that I am not doing?  The truth is that everyone is different and has to do what works best for them to get their desired results.  I am living proof that if you decide to something and commit to it, and I mean make a real commitment, that you can accomplish your goals.  By that I am talking about my weight loss goal.  I still have a few pounds to lose but I am so close that I can taste it.  I will never give up until I reach my goals.  The difference in them and me is the commitment.  I say I want stuff and there are things I would like to have or accomplish but I clearly haven't wanted them badly enough because I have not made the commitment (which means making time, making a plan, preparing and then working my ass off to make it happen!).  

This past weekend I finally started noticing a big change in my body and I am amazed at what I have been able to do which has got me thinking WHY NOT ME in the other aspects of my life.  Other people have healthy, happy relationships with a significant other so why not me?  I have always thought, and more so as the years go by, that I was not worthy of a great relationship but for the first time probably ever I am finally feeling like I am valuable so why not me?  

I also see some of the other people in my life who have amazing careers, love their jobs and are very successful and I have always been envious of them.  But again I am for the first time ever thinking if they can do it why not me?  After all they are just regular people like me, right?  So I am finding myself today just asking myself over and over WHY NOT ME???  As of this moment I am no longer going to ask that phrase but rather make that a statement.  WHY NOT ME!!!  I have so many things that I want to accomplish so I am going for it starting now.  WHY NOT ME!  I have a plan and I am mostly prepared now I just need to go and put in the time and effort and that is what I am going to do.

Is there something that you have always wanted to do but just thought you couldn't so you didn't even try?  I would love to hear your comments so post them below.  As always thanks for checking out my blog and have a fabulous day friends!
