A GREAT bit of encouragement!

One of my favorite clean eating blogs, The Gracious Panty, is written by an amazing woman, Tiffany. I love reading her blog/site, and I want to meet her! I have commented on a couple of her posts, both on the website and on Facebook, and she personally responds to each one!

I have been facing a bit of a struggle recently, and was so encouraged when I read this entry. It not only speaks to the food journey/adventure I am on, but it speaks on a broader level too. Here is an excerpt ... be encouraged by Tiffany.

The Secret of Healthy Success

I’m convinced that there is one thing that the winners know, that most others do not. One thing that separates those who succeed, from those who do not. One thing.

That one thing is the knowledge that, while the support of those around you is an important component to success, it is not what matters most.

What matters most is the level of belief you have in yourself. Because the truth is, no amount of support will ever help you until you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you can and will do something. That knowledge that is as basic as the fact that you took a breath today. That knowledge that knows no doubts, no fears and no worries simply because it is such a basic understanding you have with yourself. That understanding that you have everything you need already to succeed. You have you.

And in that moment, you realize that all those people who don’t support you, or who have something negative to say about you, simply don’t matter.

In that moment, you find your true power. In that moment, whatever your goal is, you realize that there is truly NOTHING standing in the way of you and what you can achieve.

Sure, stuff happens. But when you are this focused, you sway with the tide instead of working against it or allowing it to knock you backwards. When you are this focused, you achieve your goals, leaving negativity behind you while you reach for the stars.

And you do reach them.


BTW, I think I may make these pumpkin spice mini muffins tomorrow!
