Challenge

Every now and then in life, you have to get up, slap yourself around a little, and demand more of yourself. It's so easy for all of us to get stuck in a routine, and never really push for anything better. Yes we go to work, make a living, provide for our families, etc, but those are things we're SUPPOSED to do. What have you done lately that you weren't supposed to do (and I'm not talking about having one too many drinks and sleeping through half the weekend!). What have you done that wasn't required of you, but you did it anyway? And you did it for YOU, not anyone else. I believe we're all people pleasers by nature. We seek approval from family and friends, bosses and co-workers, and all too often we seek approval from people that could really could care less about us and our lives. What we don't focus on enough is the person staring back at us in the mirror.

How will you challenge yourself today? What will you do to make YOU better? See, by making yourself better, you truly can be better for all the people that really matter in your life. I issued a pushup challenge, not to see who could win, but to see who is willing to step outside their comfort zone and do something they probably wouldn't do otherwise. And furthermore, my hope is that it inspires even more people around them to push themselves in a positive direction. I absolutely love what I do and know I'm serving my God given purpose in this world. The better I am, the better I can be for all of you.
