I have always been a planner and goal setter. January 1st could not come and go without my detailed list of goals for the new year. I would write my goals very quietly and tuck them away in my notebook. As I began working towards these goals, I would inevitably hit a few stumbling blocks and the goal would fall by the wayside. You see; it was very easy for me to give up on the goal because I was the only one who knew what was written on the pages of that notebook. The only person I was quitting on was me.
I've changed my approach a little the last six months. I made the decision to take control of my health and I shared those goals with everyone. I appointed my sister Malisa as my accountability and success partner. I gave her full authority to call me out if I lost my focus. I began experiencing the success that was so elusive in the past. I also joined a support and accountability group on Facebook that was full of women declaring their goals and striving to be their healthiest selves. These ladies drew strength from each other to continue pushing ahead. It made me realize, there is truly power in connectivity.
I wasn't going to reach my full potential by myself. I needed the strength of others to keep me going. As I said, I would quit on myself, but I wouldn't quit on anyone else! This has truly been a game changer for me. I'm no longer hiding behind the veil of secrecy related to my goals. I'm sharing them for everyone to hear.
