Michaela Is Ready for Change
Michaela is motivated. She recently came to the conclusion that her current aimless lifestyle was not serving her. She was not achieving anything. She was frustrated and unhappy with her life. So, she sat down and intentionally asked two questions: “What do I want in my life?” and “How can I achieve it?”
Answering the first question, she produced this list: “I want…
- To be healthy.
- To be physically fit.
- To be emotionally healthy.
- To be loved for who I am.
- To learn healthy ways to love others.
- A caring, romantic relationship.
- To be the person who attracts my soulmate.
- To have a money-making home business.
- To have business income that can grow to fill my needs and wants.
- To be successful in all my life’s pursuits.”
Answering her second question, she said: “I know how to eat right in-order-to be healthy. However, I need the discipline to stay on my best diet. I know how to exercise to be physically fit. But I need help to make it a habit. I need help with being emotionally healthy. I need help with 4 through 7 and 8 and 9. I wonder who can help me?”
