I'd Rather Starve for My Dreams Than be Starved of Them

I’d rather starve for my dreams than be starved of them


I put everything I have into what I do because I know what it is like to not have what I do


I know what it’s like to work multiple jobs just so I could have money to invest in my business


I know what it’s like to work for others all day only to come home wishing to have more people to work for in my own mission


I know what it’s like to be so sad & anxious that even waking up was a scary, heavy task


I know what it’s like to feel so self-conscious that avoiding outfits, people, & events was easier than saying yes to new connections & experiences


I know what it’s like to watch loved ones fight for their life


I know what it’s like to be in so much pain that movement seems impossible


I know what it’s like to be stripped of an identity that provided comfort & belonging in an effort to find a better place to be


I know what it’s like to continuously fall short of my projected goals & outcomes & feel like it may never happen


I know what it’s like to be so anxious around food, overcome with guilt over even a grain of salt, & feel like my body could never be good enough


I know what it’s like to experience new places, people, love, opportunity, exhilaration...
.
I know what it’s like to be overcome with pride & satisfaction


I know what it’s like to fight every day for my dreams-win or lose


So when I say I won’t stop, & when people ask me why I do so much—how I do it, it’s not because I am unsatisfied—it’s because I’ve put EVERYTHING into what I’ve built, what I do, what I continue to learn, what I invest in, & the vision I have


I have too much to lose to stop


I have gained too much to back down


I have tasted freedom, impact, & love & know that the life I want is fulfilled when I rise up


My life mission to help others Build More than Just a Body goes so much deeper than surface-level because it is a part of me


I won’t sleep on my passions or purpose—they mean too much to me to relinquish for anything “safer”


I know I CAN which means I MUST


It is not a matter of “if things work out” it’s a matter of continuing to make things work so I can celebrate this life every day
