Yesterday, I cleaned my house from top to bottom, getting rid of the germs that were seeking permanent residence. So long!! It felt so good to have the energy back. I did eat well too!! I am thankful for a husband who is supporting me in my goal and giving me the push I need when I don't think I have the strength. He does small things that may seem insignificant, but in reality, it is helping me climb the mountain. My girls are so helpful and encouraging to. It amazes me to think how much your own children want to see you succeed, I think it helps them maintain hope in the fact that they too can achieve what they want. I guess I am becoming an example, when I didn't think I was affecting them.
You know I am trying to get all the naysayers out of my head. You know the ones, who talk to you like you will be successful, but then behind your back are plotting your defeat. Or the ones who criticize your every move, as if I am trying to be better than they are. There is a part of me that just wants to complete my goal, and then shove it in their face! But is that right? I am not doing this to prove it to them, and I don't want them to be the focus of my goal. They have not earned the right to be a witness to my success. I am doing this for me. To prove to me that I can succeed, that I am stronger than I give myself credit for. I am doing this to extend my life, gain happiness, and please my Heavenly Father. Those reasons are my driving force.
But I ask you, Reader, is it wrong to use their destructive powers as a driving force for me to succeed? Am I maintaining integrity by doing that?
