Falling into Place: Uncomfortable Changes

Here is the big question! Do things fall into place like we want or how they are supposed to? As I was at work the other day I started thinking to myself the following:

One: Am I living the life I want to live

Two: Am I going after the things that make me happy

Three: Yes I believe I'm starting to do both of those very things

But, then this very thought crept up into my head, why does it feel like everything is falling into place but in the completely wrong order?

Am I rushing into to many things that i have no idea about, walking around blind, why does it seem like the cart is before the horse?

In my life I have always been taught to work hard, pay your dues and the good things will come your way... So is this the case?

I'm currently working on becoming a personalized certified trainer in that sense I feel like I'm working hard. At the same time I have put over 6 years into trying to build the best body I have seen and am starting to see it but know I can give so much more.

On the other hand these are just tiny pebbles compared to other fitness professionals that have been in the game for years. I'm talking 10+ years, people have degrees related to the science, and person that has been weight lifting far longer than me.

So how come I feel like I'm still missing out on part of something, rushing the process, and just kind of confused about the whole situation i seem to be in?

Then the solution kinda hit me! I'm not missing out on anything, rushing the process, or confused!

I'm doing everything i can do to be the best me, progress in where I see the avenues are, and am along for the journey like it or not. I simply believe this is all leading me down some type of path that will be filled with a reward far greater than just never doing, or not trying!

As Eric Thomas, ET, says "You cant be 21 in 18 years, it takes 21 years to be 21 you cant rush the process. Trust the process, don't rush the process! Trust the process, don't rush the process!"

(If you need motivation of any sort I highly advise listening to Dr. Eric Thomas speak (click his name,site is linked), I have some of his particular work in my own workout play list).

I bring this topic to you all because for me I always feel like I set goals and miss the mark by at least 6 months.

I'm like 6 months behind or something that I think should happen in a logical order happens in reverse.

For example:

My thought process has been start a blog, obtain certification, obtain a local personal training job, obtain a sponsorship from a fitness company, start online training clients, become a member of a team, help promote a brand and take it to another level.

Instead its become start a blog and YouTube channel, start a brand (prototype t-shirts in the making),obtain certification, obtain a local personal training job, obtain a sponsorship from a fitness company, start online training clients, become a member of a team, help promote a brand and take it to another level.

So am I doing things out of order?

Again as Dr. Eric Thomas mentions "Some of you, if you got it now you wouldn't be mature enough to handle it!" That's how I'm looking at this particular instance if the list above is an indication of all of this then it must be the right time correct?

The take away is simply this!

If everything were to happen the way we wanted to then we wouldn't be human. There is no way for us to know exactly what will happen, why it happens, or even how it happens.

All we can do is follow the journey that we have all decided to pursue.

I feel like my journey is out of order in the sense I have no accreditation, no real influence in the fitness community, no real following, heck I don't even have a six pack (I'm not sure if that is a requirement for a personal trainer).

So why would someone want me as a trainer?

In simplicity none of that matters anymore, if i can give back to one person in anyway that's what matters!

All these things in life might not happen in the time we want or order but there is a reason for all of it. I know I'm just now getting to document my journey when there are so many people that are already doing it.

The key thought is, too many times there are a lot of right ones just wrong times.

So maybe, just maybe my journey can be the inspiration at the right time for someone to purse something they have always wanted.

For every journey someone travels it starts with one specific thing, idea, or step.

So don't judge the book by its cover, judge the book by the content you read on the pages. We all have our fears, battle wounds, and even our frets. What truly makes us unique are the chapters we have already written and more so the chapters that are in our future near or far.
