The typical thought that may come to mind when you hear the word “Cheater” is infidelity. Or… someone making a decision to deceive another for the purpose of individual gain. In focusing on the “Why” someone cheats… instead of that they cheated can teach you quite a bit. Some cheat because of unmet needs, variety, immaturity, an inability to notice or escape negative situations, personal insecurities, etc. When you chose to think about it. The list is longer than you think. The point is… many people worry about significant others cheating or taking advantage… but today’s blog is all about YOU cheating on yourself.
Many people cheat on themselves… on their dreams, and cheat themselves out of living their best lives. YOU have a vision, dream, or at least a day dream of how you would like your life to be, who you would like to be, what you’d like to look like, the money you’d like to make… and every day you are faced with opposing options, temptations, and situations that sway you from saying the right thing, eating the right foods, loving your partner the right way, loving yourself, your thoughts, your body, and vision the most effective way. YOU are cheating on YOU! What would being faithful to YOU, your dream, your vision, your life, your relationships look like?
EVOLVE today, answer these questions, and live your answers! Cheaters beware… when you cheat on you… you and only you know it. Cheating will eat away at your spirit, your best self will soon begin to disappear within you, you will justify your actions, make concessions, and later… may blame others for your missteps.
Stay faithful to YOU, your dream, and your mission. How do you do this? Know, accept, and love the value of YOU and the special people in your life. Establish your mission, goal, and plan… perhaps its obtaining a certain job, income, weight, stopping smoking, bucket lists, a vacation home, etc. Whatever it is… establish your plan to achieve it, do it daily, and follow up monthly. Bookend your day with positivity, motivation, and inspiration! Say your goal aloud daily… to yourself and build your team with people that believe and promote your vision regularly. Cheaters may win in the short term… but this is a long life with one go round. What dream of yours’ are you currently cheating on? What will you begin today, to take one step closer to achieving it and living your best life? Happy EVOLVING!!! Share your thoughts at www.facebook.com/menevolvingnow/
