I will never forget Homecoming my sophomore year. The day my name was announced over the loud speaker for being nominated for Homecoming court, I went home and cried. I was embarrassed because I seriously had no clue how I got on court and had no boyfriend or date to go with. I went solo with a group of girls. In high school I struggled with self-confidence and really wanted to fit in but I also knew in my heart I shouldn't compromise my faith and beliefs just to have "friends". Sometimes I made smart choices and sometimes I didn't. My lack of self-confidence led me to make poor decisions throughout my teens and 20's. I looked for love in a lot of wrong places. I wasted money on things and partying. I found my self-worth in what I owned, looked like, and what people thought of me.
For years I struggled with following the crowd and trying to fit the mold. I had some dark times in my 20's. By the grace of God, I am where I am today and I'm so proud of the woman I'm becoming (I say this in a non-prideful way). I've learned some big life lessons since becoming a coach and recommitting my life to God 18 months ago...
-I've learned it doesn't matter what I look like - what matters is how I feel inside.
-I've learned it doesn't matter what I have - what matters is what I do with what God has given me.
-I've learned it doesn't matter what others think of me - what matters is what I think of myself and to see myself as God sees me.
-I've learned my past does not define my future and I'm forgiven for the mistakes I've made and have a BRIGHT future.
-I've learned I'm capable of SO MUCH MORE and there are no limits with God on my side.
Many of you have followed my transformation over the last year and a half and I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for such a positive community of people to share my journey. FOR THAT, I THANK YOU! I started this journey to lose my pregnancy weight but little did I know my entire life would be transformed. My health, faith, relationships, self-confidence, marriage, finances, EVERYTHING has changed since taking the leap of faith and joining my dear friend and coach, Danielle. I thank God for putting her and Beachbody into my life for so many reasons.
If you're lacking self-confidence and self-worth today, I want you to know YOU ARE A ONE OF A KIND MASTERPIECE. You are SPECIAL. You ARE worth it. Your life has PURPOSE. You are capable of SO much and God has BIG plans for you. I've become obsessed with becoming a woman comfortable in my own skin AND it's now my passion to help other women feel the same. Shoot me a message if you'd like to chat (bbcoachheatherb@gmail.com). I would love to point you in the right direction to becoming all God designed you to be. <3
In Love & Light,
Heather
