Where I'm Going Pt.2

The first step in fulfilling any goal or dream is knowing your WHY! Your WHY gives meaning and purpose to everything you do in your pursuit to achieve your goals. It's going to be amazing when I hit my goals, but if all I cared about were the numbers on the scale then what is the point? It is what hitting my goals MEANS for me. My WHY helps me to understand the importance of what I'm doing and gives me a purpose. 

There are a million WHY's that drive me: To walk up a flight of stairs and not be winded, to ride on an airplane and not have to use a seat belt extender, to go to a theme park and be able to ride all the rides, to walk into any store and know they have my size, to wear my wedding ring again after 7 years etc. 

BUT, I have a WHY that brings up emotions deep inside me that lights my fire and drives me and that is to grow my family. I have PCOS and have been unable to get pregnant due to me being overweight. I struggled with infertility for 6 years before we adopted Grant. Grant is my sunshine and my husband and I were so incredibly lucky to have him placed in our lives. The exact story will come at a later date but for now I will just say that we are so grateful for adoption and love him so much and I wouldn't change the way my life has played out for a second. I want to grow my family and nothing would make me happier then to experience pregnancy and child birth. Grant has been asking for a baby sister for almost a year now. Lately he has started demanding a baby brother as well :). I want to get my body healthy so that I can fulfill his dream to be a big brother. 

This is my WHY and it drives me everyday. I wake up with a purpose. I wake up knowing what I'm fighting for. Whatever you are fighting for in your life, wherever you are headed, know your WHY because it is POWERFUL.
