Well, well, well…. I must say that I am proud of how far I have come in my health journey. Over the past year or so, I was really focusing of my physical health. Making sure I had great eating habits and workout plans. I must say that I have been quite good and I am definitely proud of how far I have come. A lot of people have been complimenting me lately and I am most certainly grateful, but the only thing is that I don’t always feel like I can accept the compliments.

As someone with a visual disability, I often don’t know exactly how well my judgment is based on what I can see in front of me. When I was younger, I wasn’t proud of the health lifestyle I had chosen. Obviously at the time it was not a main priority because I was still relatively young. However, I have taken a huge interest in nutritional health and physical health. I love setting time in my days to keep active and go for walks or do a workout or two. It gives me the greatest boost of energy and the happiest feeling when I am being active and staying healthy.

Even when I don’t feel exactly confident in how I look or feel, I know I can work on it and I can achieve the goal that I set for myself.

By setting these goals, I get a new reason to be confident and hopeful for the goals I will get to. It gives me a reason to work for what I want and pushes me to get there. The greatest feeling is when you can be yourself and do it confidently. Confidence is key and it gives you stamina to build yourself up into the person you want to be.

During my journey however, I noticed that there is a blurred line that people, including myself, cross. We compare ourselves to the people around us. We tend to forget the fact that we are all different and can’t be the same, even if we really want to. You should make sure to know who you are and what you want and don’t let your view stray because of the influences around you. You have your own paces and goals and you have your own right you achieve them and what you want, when you want. I don’t always feel as confidant as I would like because I don’t always trust my own view. Relying of people and their opinions is what I have to work with but people are either WAY too nice or just a tad bit mean… like my brother… meany…just remember that you should be confidant with what you have and how far you have come. What you have accomplished today, has made you one step closer to a successful story than you were yesterday.

“Believe in yourself, your abilities and your own potential.  Never let self-doubt hold you captive.  You are worthy of all that you dream of and hope for.”
